After releasing a critically acclaimed classical solo-piano album in 2021, the pyrotechnical and
anarchic composer is now digging into the danceability with his new album. Hungry for discovery
and a passion for freedom, and always with refinement, elegance and sensitivity.
The album will be called “And If In A Thousand Years”, and the first single – to be released
17.06.2022 is called “Destroyer and Preserver”. It’s a rich and massive sound tapestry that
contemplate the beauty of the melodies, the richness of the tones, the vitality of rhythms
A twist on this album is that there will be professional sample-library instruments made
available with the instruments used in making the album. The first library is a massive 2.3GB
tender vintage Rhodes instrument called “The Silk Rhodes”. Available from https://

“My instruments are intentionally oval compared to the instruments of the classical traditions. I am
looking for universes of sound that is raw and without artifice. I hope that making my personal
collection of instruments available to other composers and musicians, that I will inspire people to
make music. Making sampler instruments is a discipline I impose on myself in order to broaden
my palette. I have found that making sampler-instruments breaks me of lazy habits developed over
time on traditional instruments” – says KAADA
