“A Train View” - Eldad Zitrin Solo Piano Album - Biography

“A Train View”, A Solo Piano album containing 12 songs, recorded and filmed in 5 hours, documenting mostly my hands performing the songs at my studio on a 1926 Steinway & Sons Grand piano.

Even though they are tunes - melodies without lyrics, I like to call them “songs”.
Some of them are actually “behind the scenes” of a full grown song. These songs appear in different albums, which are realist parallel to the piano album, and all together they create a whole piece.
Even for the melodies in “A Train View”, that are yet not a part of a song I feel that somewhere along the road they will get a second version and that there will be an interpretation of a song with a new melody and lyrics.

This is my way and my choice, trying to say that a musical creation can be more than you think it is, I like to play with the versions creating a musical world behind each tune, melody or song.


And Still, on “A Train View” I chose to record them stripped down on the piano.
The piano is the center of my heart; the fingers on the keys are my way to tell the truth deep from my heart, translating my feelings into melodies.
This is the way I deal with my emotions. sometimes longing for someone or something, sometimes dedicating a song to one of my children., or someone close to me that I love. Sometimes writing a tune to a city I visited and that I have good memories from or even a lullaby to my childhood playground.

In my opinion, tunes, in contrast to songs with lyrics, do not have relevance to a place, their path is pure, it goes from the ears of the listener straight to his heart, and when I give a title to a tune I try to connect the listener to the state of mind I was in while writing or starting to write.

Like the title song “A train view”, the main piano line was written in a backstage theater in New-York just a little bit before a show. there was a piano in the room, and in front of all the musicians surrounding me, I just set down and started playing it… Later on I wrote the lead melody and right after that I gave this song Hebrew lyrics with totally different interpretation.
I decided on the title “A train view” because of the situation it was written in, without too much thinking,came out a line that goes on and on… like a train view, that never stops, you see a lot of things, but you can't really see nothing…

Other than filming my hands, Roy Eventov, director and film editor for this piano album, decided to take a second camera, documenting that day.
For “My Spring”, Lead track and actually the 1st song composed for this album, Roy edited a video clip that shows the recording process. Honestly, that was an exciting but yet a very difficult day for me, and Roy decided to expose those heard and honest moments through the video creating a short story as a “making of” for the whole album.

Accompanied is a high-level transcribed Sheet music book that preserves the recordings and performances, suited to play, from almost beginner to pro pianists with some improvisation skills.

As the full project will eventually come out, these songs will appear in my “singer-songwriter” album with Hebrew lyrics, and in a “world music” album, combining instrumental versions and hosting various top Israeli artists, performed live, singing in their mother tongue, proving once again that music is the best language to bring cultures closer.
