4 Hands, an intimate and surreal musical conversation on the piano from German sound pioneer Hans-Joachim Roedelius and American composer Tim Story, is an example of all the warm yet otherworldly beauty that can come from approaching a shared love for a singular instrument from overlapping directions.

Recorded sequentially but on one and the same grand piano, Roedelius laid down a few impromptu piano études in May 2019 whilst visiting his transatlantic friend Story. Tim then learned all their intricate phrasings to add his own parts in the following months.

1. Nurzu

2. Spirit Clock

3. Haru

4. Rever

5. Seeweed

6. Allegro Estinto

7. Crisscrossing

8. Thrum

9. Bent Rhyme

10. Skitter

11. Ba
