Amos Osterhaus - Ornamenti

The second album of Dutch pianist/composer nineteen-year-old Amos Osterhaus (1996) contains twelve new compositions at the intersection of classical music, pop and jazz. Generally, Osterhaus’ work  has been associated with the music of Dustin O'Halloran, Yann Tiersen, Aphex Twin and Michael Nyman.

As with his first album, “In Casale M,” (2010) Osterhaus worked closely on “Ornamenti” with the Italian musician, musicologist and music producer Francesco Landucci. On three tracks Amos plays solo piano; on the other songs he is assisted by, among others, the acclaimed cellist  Eilidh Martin (Concertgebouw Orchestra, Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack), the award-winning jazz percussionist Matteo Scarpettini (One Beat; Mauro Perigozzo) and the jazz drummer Mario Manetti (Macadam, Paolo Conte). The final finish is given by Peter Doell of Universal Mastering Studios, Los Angeles, CA (Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis, Hans Zimmer, Randy Newman, REM).
