Meanings is a collection of music written between 2020 and 2024 - more of an anthology than a conceptual album, but still tied together by genre and certain ideas. It’s mostly orchestral, with a rhythmic feel and some electronic touches here and there, though not as much solo piano as usual.
Some of these pieces go way back - one track, Noise, was actually written in 2012, even before Kai Engel existed as a project. Unlike Farewells, which was almost fully acoustic and very personal, this album isn’t about one particular theme. It’s more of a look back at different moments in time rather than something that redefines my past work.
It also bridges the gap between Farewells and what’s coming next. My next release will lean more into electronic music - something I haven’t focused on in a long time. It won’t be a complete shift, but there will definitely be some new elements. More on that soon.
For now, I just hope you listen and find your own meaning in it.
