N O N -   I S   O U T !

‘Noise à Noise’ is proudly presenting the debut solo album by Kian Hossein. The conception and production for “Non-“ started in 2019, it was a solo study project on prolongation and persistence of the various capabilities of sound using the piano as the only instrument on the list, in addition to an intricate set of delay and reverberation effect-units, an intricate network of delay and reverberation sound-effects is considered as the piece’s processing-core. The EP album is going to be released also in the physical format. Throughout the process, it also became a challenge to discover to what extent the artist can push the piano’s limits, in terms of its polyphonic nature. In other words, what other instruments can be found and used within the sound of the piano. Further after the development of the project, “Non-“ which was intended to be a musical study, turned out to be a ‘study of the self’
