\"\"Just as he turns 70, extraordinary pianist and composer Lubomyr Melnyk<\/a> is back with a new album called Fallen Trees,<\/em> arriving on December 7th through Erased Tapes<\/a>. As with previous efforts, Fallen Trees<\/em> remains laced with the environment, taking inspiration from a rail journey Melnyk made through Europe, where while looking out the window, he caught sight of trees that had just been felled. They looked “glorious” to him. “Even though they’d been killed, they weren’t dead. There was something sorrowful there, but also hopeful.”\u00a0 This dark and melancholic yet bright and promising feel permeates the album in equal parts.<\/p>\n

To bring the album to life, Melnyk enlisted Erased Tapes founder Robert Raths as producer. Fallen Trees<\/em> also features guest contributions from vocal artist Hatis Noit, cellist Anne M\u00fcller, and singer David Allred.\u00a0 “More than any of the albums that I’ve done”,\u00a0described Melnyk, “it’s a real collaboration.”<\/p>\n

The magnificent \u2018Son of Parasol\u2019 is the first single to emerge and you can listen to it now.<\/p>\n
