Mesmerizing: Joel Helander’s second album, 'Passing Frames' blends contemporary classical and film scoring styles with jazz and lo-fi rock. It features heavy orchestration and deliberate, weaving song-structures, which both serve to create a narrative throughout the music.

Bandcamp Finds: Joel Helander

I’m always searching for new music. Bandcamp has been an awesome destination to easily search and discover music in a variety of genres. Bandcamp Finds is my irregularly scheduled effort to highlight and applaud artists I’ve enjoyed. 

Flood by Joel Helander.

Flood is a relaxing journey through modernized classical compositions. Joel Helander's piano work is soothing and meditative. The album nudges you through the day with gentle lifts and reflective dips, and is a great accompaniment to move through the work day, or while enjoying "do nothing" moments.

An Aquaintance of Mine

is looking for a little extra help with his next album. He's a pianist and composer looking to hire orchestral accompaniment for his next album. Not being particularly musical myself I think it's pretty awesome that he's already produced one, but orchestras don't come cheap. There's a small funding gap - five hundred dollars, practically nothing in terms of crowdsourcing - and he's set up an Indiegogo here in hopes of covering that.

I'm not asking anyone to sign on sight unseen, of course. His first album, a collection of solo piano pieces called Flood, can be found here. I find it quite pleasant.

So go on, have a listen and offer support if you're interested. He's quite talented and I would like to see this next album succeed.
