New Album - China Grove


Greetings,

I’m excited to share something new with you today.

My latest album, China Grove, has officially been released under my electronic music project Hammersmith Station—and I’d love for you to take a listen.

This album is a bit of a departure from my solo piano work. It’s a 52-minute instrumental journey across 11 tracks, blending world fusion, downtempo, ambient, and psychedelic textures into something immersive and cinematic.

For this project, I explored the beautiful East Asia sample library, incorporating traditional Chinese instruments such as:

  • Dizi
  • Erhu
  • Guzheng
  • Guqin
  • Pipa
  • Yangqin

These sounds are woven together with modern production, atmospheric soundscapes, and expressive performances using the Roli Seaboard—an instrument that adds a unique level of nuance and emotion throughout the album.

Think of China Grove as a musical journey…
like riding the Orient Express through sound, with headphones on.

🎶 Track List

Lancang
The Oracle Bone
Pink China

Most tracks were mastered by Steven Cravis, helping bring clarity and depth to the overall listening experience.

This project was a joy to create—and it’s just the beginning. I’m already at work on the next Hammersmith Station album, continuing this exploration into electronic and world-inspired sound.

Cover image from solo piano piece Nocturne of the Soul by Arthur Dobrucki

Greetings, This month, I'm sharing the releases of my latest music, including a few solo piano selections. Just released on July 4, 2025 is "Nocturne of the Soul". In this piece, you'll hear sadness and melancholy amidst a dark, minor-key bed arpeggio pattern. Nocturne of the Soul is a piece for quiet times, and I hope it brings calm and introspection. Also released since my last newsletter update is another piece titled "Ventura Rain". As the title suggests, I use the piano to imitate...
