This performance has ended up costing me...3 albums and a concert...thanks KEXP!! I'm broke but happy
This just randomly popped up, I'd never heard of Hania Rani. I'll be listening to her a lot in future! Thanks, KZread algorithm.
Hearing this music is mesmerizing. Watching her make it is mindblowing and a huge privilege to watch a master perform. Thank You KEXP.
Wow! It's like her fingers become part of the keys so beautifully 🔥💝
Hania Rani, Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm are in a league of their own. Every single performance is mind blowing.

They're all awesome. Hania Rani has released on Gondwana Records: Gondwana's founder, Matthew Halsall, does some beautiful jazz - probably Salute to the Sun Live @ Halle St Peter's my first recommendation. Closer to Hania Rani/Nils Frahm/etc, you might enjoy Hauschka's Prepared Piano, Lambert is lovely, ... few others. Any suggestions from your side?

This is the original video that made me discover Hania's work. I can't thank KEXP enough for this. Since then, I became a total fan of what she does, and this ability she has to create a universe in only a few seconds. Saw her twice in 2023, unforgettable experiences... And can't wait to attend her concert in the end of this year. Hania is the reason why I started to play piano, I have a boundless gratitude to her for this.
I got totally immersed in these sounds. There is hope in the world if young people create this kind of music.

@@danielhillwick5276 here in the Dayton, Ohio area we have 91.3 WYSO out of Yellow Springs. Where Dave Chapelle lives...right up the highway. Super awesome hippy town. Beautiful hiking and an amazing little community. It was originally built as one of the original commune type villages back in the early 1900s or late 1800s I believe. Tons of amazing music these days all over the place. Now that people have the ability to market direct to the ears of people online has made today unlike any other in the business before it. The biggest change though has come from the huge interest in home recording and production. I started to learn music production back in 2009 and it chaned my entire musical life. I went from being a guitarist to a music producer, able to not only play guitar but other instruments and also to the backend technical work on mixing and mastering. The amount of money and time it saves the average musician to be able to do themselves these days is ridiculous. It makes entire albums that otherwise wouldn't see the light of day happen. Recording studio time is super expensive and there are benefits to recording in a full on equipped professional studio. However that's not realistic for a lot of people when they are first getting their vision together. I would never want to go back to days of studio and label executives holding the keys to the airwaves again.
This has been the greatest shroom scroll peak I've ever stumbled across. This soundscape being painted right now is astonishing.
This girl is motivated! I want as many pianos as she has!
she is the one for the next decades!!!
I remember 45 years ago being blown away by Pink Floyd Echoes - I haven't had that feeling again till today. Wonderful Music

Holy shit it's been so long since I last got mind blown by new music, synth gods would be proud of her, such a creative way of using the arpeggiator it's awesome
I guess right now she is becoming the biggest Polish name in music since Komeda. The Polish media still barely have a clue how big it is and I wish her it remained like this for a while, no tabloid buzz around needed. It's great she didn't lock herself in the world of classical music but instead was bold enough to go beyond, into the unknown. This is what differs an artist with great performing skills from a breakthrough artist. Gratulacje, Hania!

I discovered Hania a bit over a year ago. You know, that black&white video in a concert hall. A concert hall across the street from where I live. Seeing her doing a live gig at KEXP, performing at les invalides, all over the world, seems unreal. But on the other hand, from the moment I heard the first notes of her music I was hoping for it to happen. She is a league of her own. Her music is a space of its own. I'm glad you're sharing her talent with the world. It's well worth it.
