This was 2013 Jack figuring out new ways to approach the piano, and hearing it now with better sound quality makes you appreciate how bold he was being back then.
The track builds slowly, the way Jack always does, but there’s something different here. Maybe it’s because he was still experimenting, still pushing boundaries he hadn’t crossed yet. The remastering job is solid too – you can actually hear the room he recorded in, which adds this intimate feeling like you’re sitting right there with him.
This piece manages to be both calming and curious at the same time. You get those meditative moments Jack is known for, but there’s also this sense that he’s working something out in real time. The improved audio really helps, details that were probably lost in the original recording come alive here. You can hear the piano’s character more clearly, and those subtle harmonic moves that make Jack’s music so distinctive really pop.
Anyone who wants to keep up with what Jack Agdur is doing these days should definitely follow him on Spotify because he posts cool stuff about his creative process and gives updates on what he’s working on next.
