The king of felt piano is back with another new single and this time Victor Birkan delves into the realm of memory, specifically into false ones, I believe this is something we are all guilty of from time to time, and it is no wonder as our emotions and our ability to recall the actual facts may be influenced by a bias or other psychological matters.

The artist has sent himself a lofty goal here on this new single, but in doing so has risen to the challenge and penned a wonderfully cinematic moment of music, when questions are asked through the medium of the piano, and answers are given in the various keys and chords manifested, within this composition.

One has to admire the ability of Birkan to produce such thought provoking and artistic music; there can be no doubt that he is a prolific composer and creator, and I believe that False Memory by Victor Birkan could well be one of his most reflective creations to date. Regardless the world of solo piano will be better off for it.

One must applaud Birkan’s style and his arrangements, and this new single from the pianist will resonate in the minds of the eager listener as a true memory of a really good piano composition.
