Uwe Gronau

When composer and keyboardist Uwe Gronau creates a new recording, it’s as if he is taking an adventurous flight. His musical journeys sometimes have the feeling of blasting off in a spaceship, or soaring above the clouds in an airplane, or hang-gliding alone a few hundred feet above the earth, or free-falling like a bungie-jumper. And so he titled his latest musical excursion Flight 14. Uwe Gronau (pronounced ooo-vuh grow-now) is a German musician, a master of many styles with numerous eclectic recordings. His musical enthusiasm and boundless creativity cannot be contained. Flight 14, for example, contains solo piano (“Magic Tree,” “Father, I Miss You,” “The Cleaning,” “Elegy” and “What I Forgot To Say”), piano-and-synthesizer (“Lend Me Your Heart”), all-synth (“Flight 14”), electric-piano and drums (“The Other Way”), rhythmic-ambient (“Market”), a groove tune with a little vocoder (“Longing For”), spacey-and-soaring synth with drums (“Heaven”), progressive-rocking-new-age (“At The Beginning,” “The Ghost Behind You”), an uptempo vocal tune (“Prince of the Darkness”) and much more. Flight 14 and his other most-recent albums are available worldwide online from CDbaby.com and Amazon.com, and from various digital download locations such as iTunes.
