about

Sweden-based pianist and composer Leon den Engelsen debuts on piano and coffee records with Growth, a raw, warm, and intimate six-piece EP. On this project, the Dutch musician decorates his intimately recorded upright piano with delicate soundscapes, field-recordings and ambient synthesizers. Leon goes back to his roots in both improvisations and compositions on piano.

Leon came in touch with music early on when his mother practiced the piano at home. At the age of seven, Leon got his first lessons with the local piano teacher and his musical journey began. In his teens, Leon formed a band with his friends and only a few years later he’d start touring with national and international artists such as Iranian/Dutch singer and producer Sevdaliza, for whom he also does most of the piano and keyboard recording. In 2011, Leon moved to New Orleans to study jazz music and, in 2017, he finished a Master’s Degree at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam. One year later, Leon moved to Sweden where he built his recording studio in which he now writes and records his own music. In 2020, Leon released his debut EP Substance, a four-track project that connects the acoustic and electronic worlds through dance music.

I'm on my third listen and this album has real depth. Different passages keep leaping out at me, but I like the way it maintains a characteristic tone while being full of melodic, rhythmic and modal variety and even surprise. Really good. I wish I'd bought the CD. Peter Mason
