"Two By Four" is some kind of musical summation of the evolution of Piano Interrupted over the past three years, from an exclusively studio project (centered around the manipulation of Tom's piano by Franz’s computer) to a fully-fledged live band with the addition of Greg Hall on the cello and Eric Young on percussion.
With cinematic piano, dreamy soundscapes, fragile and broken melodies colliding over complex rhythm structures, it's difficult to categorise the musical style of Piano Interrupted. It seems to vary from EP to EP, gig to gig, track to track, even from bar to bar. There are nods to minimalism, film scores and cinematic soundscapes, glitch and ambient, post-rock, neo-classical piano and jazz... The eclectic list goes on but to them in the end, it is unimportant:
"What is important is that whenever we meet, we always try to make music that we believe in."
The album is scheduled to be re-released and get wider distribution via German experimental music label, Denovali Records in April 2013. In contrast to the CD version previously released on Days Of Being Wild, this release contains six bonus tracks: two more tracks - Occasional Blues, Nocturne - from Piano Interrupted's earlier writing, recorded as duos, and the missing piece from the Papa Hédi sessions, Foug. Finally as a summation of their journey thus far, further included are three live recordings of Étude (a live duo), London Waltz (a live quartet with our PI's experiment involving Konokol vocals) and Foug, from their concert at the Radialsystem in Berlin as part of the UM:LAUT series.
