On 'Dust', French-born, New York-based pianist Romain Collin brings his nuanced approach to solo piano, crafting a work that's equal parts intimate and expansive. 'Dust' delves into Collin's love for story-telling within music through the expressive power of a single note.

Influenced by the poetic storytelling of icons like Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Björk, Collin's compositions unfold like personal reflections, captured through the warmth and intimacy of the upright piano. The album pairs original compositions with carefully chosen covers, each distilled into a bare, focused style that reveals the soul of every melody. For Collin, Dust is an invitation into his world, where beauty emerges through simplicity, and a sense of calm permeates each note, as he explains: "With Dust, I wanted to let each note carry a weight of its own - a single tone that speaks like a line of poetry, raw and without pretense. Solo piano is the purest form of storytelling; it's where the instrument disappears, leaving only the story behind. The upright brought an unexpected intimacy to these pieces, like sitting around a campfire with the ghosts of the great songwriters who taught me how to listen."

Collin's journey with Dust unfolds alongside a series of exclusive videos, set to release in the weeks leading up to the album. These visuals delve into his cinematic vision, exploring the emotional landscapes that shape each piece. "There's a purity in solo piano," Collin reflects. "With Dust, I wanted to see just how much expression I could uncover within that space, hoping listeners might find a moment of solace, even a sense of connection, within these pieces."

'Dust' is the first of two solo piano albums, marking a profound chapter in Collin's career as he continues to redefine the role of the piano as a vessel for storytelling.
