Contemporary pianist and composer James Heather announces his second album, ‘Invisible Forces’, via Ahead of Our Time, Ninja Tune founders Coldcut’s first record label.

An album influenced by the sensibility of electronic, ambient, orchestral and post-rock music but channelled through solo piano and Heather’s classical and jazz grounding.

With regards to his “superb” (Crack Magazine) and “masterful” (Electronic Sound, Dummy) debut, ‘Stories From Far Away On Piano’, the songs are grander, deeper and broader in emotional range and are developed through a series of improvisation techniques. Heather describes it as ‘pulse music’, with each track performed in a single take and with their roots in this live improvisation, often honed on the road where he moves between tender to more propulsive, trance-inducing dynamics.

For fans of Jean-Michel Blais, Sarah Davachi, John Carroll Kirby, Otto A. Totland, Ólafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm, The Cinematic Orchestra.
