This mix is a musical journey from ambient piano to upbeat mellow electronica focusing on the influences behind the new EP Belle de Nuit. “When I compose electronic music, the finished song transports a certain feeling throughout the whole song. A piano piece can also transport a feeling, but next to that emotion it can tell a very detailed storyline,” says Parra for Cuva, who is primarily recognized as the artist for the melodic electronic tracks, he’s become internationally famous for. Featuring music from the likes of Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds or Lisa Morgenstern, as well as one new tracks from the forthcoming release – this mix is perfect for the tipsy dinners with your loved ones, ensures Parra for Cuva.
The moment that Nicolas Janco aka Parra for Cuva starts playing his melody-laden electronic tracks, it is as if a murmur went through the crowd: Eyes closed, people fall into movements in rhythm with his indistinguishable melodies. Interrupted through occasional sounds of cheering and clapping,everything seamlessly blends into a tapestry of sound and people and one hopes for this wonderful
musical experience never to take an end.
Indulging in his relentless fascination for sound and harmony, Nicolas commenced his quest for music at a very young age. Starting with classical piano and taking stops in Jazz, Pop and Indie music, the young artist soon developed a strong passion for electronic music that made him leave the countryside and move to big and creative Berlin. Using musical instruments, synthesizers and digital music editing, the audio designer masters the art of creating intelligent, intertwined music pieces from melodies, soft beats and sounds that he records in daily life.
