Poppy Ackroyd - Resolve Reimagined
In order to 'reimagine' Resolve, the pianist, violinist, producer, and composer teamed up with a collection of friends and artistic peers, including Hauschka, Penelope Trappes, Max Cooper, Ben Lukas Boysen, Hidden Orchestra, Floex, Daisuke Tanabe and Nuage. As remix albums go, Resolve Reimagined is in a total league of its own; each track embarks on its own journey between genres, embracing unmistakable sounds taken from the original pieces, yet each one radiates the essence of the artist that remixed it.
The ground-breaking album explores life's constant challenges, and many of the songs are extremely personal to Poppy. In her own words: "Resolve is about the determination to embrace the good things in life whilst dealing with unexpected and challenging difficulties. Finding the light in the dark, facing sadness and loss head-on, and developing a growing inner strength."
Ackroyd creates percussive textures from traditional classical instruments, and the result is almost the emulation of an entire orchestra, using very few instruments combined with the artist's incredible production skills. The gifted artist works by recording improvised contemporary classical piano motifs and then rearranging and manipulating these sounds digitally. The result is a fantastic fusion of acoustic and electronic in a post-classical setting.
"Resolve puts her comfortably on par with neo-classical giants Nils Frahm, Max Richter and Hauschka." - MOJO
"It's a beautiful, elongated five minutes or so and Ackroyd makes the whole thing seem completely effortless." - The Line of Best Fit

- Paper (Max Cooper Remix)
- Light (Hauschka Remix)

- Resolve (Floex Remix)
- Quail (Hidden Orchestra Remix)
