Uto'pians (vol.2) | Various Artists

“Uto'pians” is a piano collection consisting of compositions by composers from all over the world. Now in its second edition, the artists were chosen by the curators Raphaelle Thibaut and Jordane Tumarinson. Part of the profits will be donated to Animals Australia, Australia's leading animal protection organisation. Their investigations shine light in dark places so we can illuminate the pathway to a kinder world. All animals deserve kindness and a life worth living. For millions of animals each year, this remains but a dream. “Utopians” was born to support the wonderful work these organizations have been doing for years. Here are Jordane Tumarinson's words on this project: «as an artist and sensitive, i am amazed by the nature and in our current context, I think it could be a good thing to participate in its preservation. We all participate in our own way, and it can be a way more: to conjugate music and nature. So this project is to federate composers around a common cause, discover each other and maybe become friends. So i found the word: "Uto'pians" for the album, an utopian is a dreamer (today we need dreamers like us) who believe in harmony with society and with nature. Also, it is a game of words with pians: piano.»

Erased Tapes, 1631 Recordings and Manners McDade collaborated on the project.
