Argentinian cellist, composer and producer Sebastian Plano has announced the release of a new album called Save Me Not which will be out on July 2nd via Mercury KX. It follows 2019’s Verve. Recorded at nights in his Berlin studio, it finds him going to unprecedented, even greater extremes to satisfy his urge to express himself through the creation of ensemble music alone. “A Present For A Young Traveller” is the first excerpt which comes with the official video shot in an old barn just outside Berlin in the freezing winter just passed.
“I had let my cello lead my way ever since I left Rosario, my hometown, at age 17. Years later following musical journeys in Italy, Boston, San Francisco and Berlin, I came to meet someone who would shape a new pathway for me for years to come. He opened up a drawer, picked something up, placed it into my hands and said; ‘here, a present for a young traveller, the video was shot just outside of Berlin. The video recreates the ensemble playing approach, I still feel cold watching it back” he explains.
