5 PSYCHEDELIC PIECES BY SCRIABIN on HAKEN CONTINUUM for Scriabin’s 150th Birthday! (Rob Schwimmer)

It’s Scriabin’s 150th birthday today! 5 PSYCHEDELIC PIECES BY ALEXANDER SCRIABIN on HAKEN CONTINUUM 0:07 Heavy Traffic (Prelude op 67 #2) 1:12 Floating on a Cloud (Feuillet d’Album op 45 #1) 2:45 The Siberian Tiger (Etude op 8 #12) 5:26 Désir (op 57 #1) 7:28 The Mosquito! (Etude op 42 #3) All compositions were originally piano pieces that I love by Alexander Scriabin. I recorded all the piano tracks sans melody so the Haken Continuum could cover the melodies which it can do so beautifully. I made up the subtitles except for Désir which is Scriabin’s real title. The last track is often referred to as The Mosquito but not in the manuscript... As a pianist and theremin player the Haken Continuum is the next step for me… Not replacing either but a revolutionary new, super sensitive great instrument! I loved doing this project and hope you love it too. As always when I play the Haken Continuum I have to thank Lippold Haken, Edmund Eagan and Christophe Duquesne: Without their incredible brains I wouldn’t be doing this today! I can’t thank you enough... but I’ll try! A special thanks to Joshua Madoff for his mixes! Beautiful!
