Stillness Variations by Laura Siersema

"Transcendent. Glorious. Monumental."

"Stillness Variations", a seamless album of 8 modern pieces for piano and improvised viola, features Mimi Rabson. My 5th release, it's the latest in the musical evolution of a “not your father’s folk music anymore” artist.

Composed originally for solo piano, "Stillness Variations" was born of a fascination I had with crossing my hands over and under one another to play. I became absorbed in the harmonies and unexpected rhythms that were created.

Available as a compilation and as individual tracks. Solo piano versions have also been released.
