Description
Hania Rani is a Polish pianist, composer and singer. She employs a delicate, vulnerable, and minimalist playing style with modern recording techniques to evoke themes of self, home, and landscape. She was classically trained at the Feliks Nowowiejski music school in her hometown, where she met cellist and best friend Dobrawa Czocher. For her 2019 debut album Esja, she received five Fryderyk nominations in Poland.
Her score for Venice – Infinitely Avantgarde is a fruit of Rani's city walks through Venice and discovering its museums, narrow streets, and landmarks. The documentary, directed by Michele Mally, follows a tour through the city and takes in masterpieces by Tiepolo, Canaletto, Rosalba Carriera. Venice is unique for its identity, which combines contrasting DNA blueprints that have been there for over 1600 years: the charm of decadence and the excitement of being on the cutting edge. Cosmopolitan from the outset, Venice has always been a city of commercial and cultural exchange with the East and, taking into account its fragility, has always had vision and been inspired by the future.
Venice – Infinitely Avantgarde is housed in a gatefold sleeve with liner notes by Hania Rani.
