In a special one-off recording, composer and pianist Roger Eno has gone into the studio to create a solo piano version of Deep Blue Day, a classic track he first recorded with his brother, Brian Eno, and Canadian producer and musician Daniel Lanois in 1983.
Deep Blue Day began life on an album widely considered to be one of the best ambient recordings of all time: 1983’s Apollo: Atmospheres And Soundtracks. That same album launched Roger Eno’s recording career, as he, Brian and Lanois teamed up to write, perform and produce a set of pieces for the score of Al Reinert’s documentary about the Apollo moon landings, For All Mankind, released in 1989. The original track combines introspective synths with pedal steel guitar melodies, a nod to the country music tapes taken on moon missions by the astronauts. Deep Blue Day later appeared on another famous soundtrack, that of Danny Boyle’s 1996 film Trainspotting, where its hypnotic beauty is starkly juxtaposed with the graphic horrors of the scene it accompanies.
In his new version, Roger Eno takes us into a different realm – the quiet, muffled soundworld of his upright piano. The gentle but insistent beat remains, with the melodies in the warm middle register of the keyboard occasionally drifting into the more bell-like upper notes, echoing what Lanois has called the “celestial twang” of the guitar in the original. Atmospheric, dreamy and serene, Eno’s new take on this much-loved track gives listeners space for a moment’s reflection and is the perfect offering for a celebration of all things piano.
The artist himself says, “I remember well the original recording in Grant Avenue Studios, Hamilton, Canada, where my brother, Danny Lanois and myself worked and laughed together. This version was recorded in the Berlin studio of a friend and colleague, Christian Badzura, a fellow lover of good beer and music – thank you, Christian. Less ‘planetary’ than the original, this version is deliberately more ‘earthbound’, telling, I hope, of friendships, memories and the fortunate path Fate has allowed me to walk. I hope you enjoy it.”
