We introduced different times Peruvian pianist and composer Sergio Díaz De Rojas, now based in Valencia. He’s back with a new track called “The Moon Song“. According to the press release, Sergio found himself drowning in the hollow night, and in an attempt to combat the loneliness, started composing.“I guess this melody is what I would tell the moon if I could talk to her.”
As is custom for Sergio’s pieces, The Moon Song has an instant sense of nostalgic tenderness — it is a song about sleepless nights, glasses of wine, and unread books next to an unmade bed. Written during that part of the night in which everyone else is sleeping, the piece is an intimate affair; a gentle and at times heavy left hand is contrasted by a trickling, tethering right, playing with altering intensity but immaculate emotion. There’s a tense determination lingering beneath every note, an unanswered question floating in the air, only to be left hanging, as the piece drifts into the comfort of the decision to simply give up for now, and try again tomorrow.
