About
Over the past years, I have lived in many different places, exploring various ways of living and exposed myself to a broad variety of artistic idioms with an ongoing question; what is my own voice wanting to express?
I‘ve always been fascinated by the idea of creating a sonic language which would immediately build narratives and speak by itself. As an improviser with a compositional background, my goal has been to elaborate the structures that would allow me to express myself with the maximal amount of freedom without losing a certain focus.
These 8 pieces represent 8 different souls that move in their own ways and want to celebrate their own existence in an unfiltered way, trying to realise what is already there without controlling it, finding their own dance.
They are the essence allowing me to reconnect with the self I was at that moment and explore further from that point.
I wish everybody to discover what makes their soul dance.

Eight improvised solo pieces from the Swiss pianist that never lose focus. Nicely recorded, there's also a tremendous sense of openness and space here, as well as energy. This is Schwaar's first effort without a band, and it's an avenue he should explore further in the future.
