Connor Riesen is an Orlando-based musician and producer who is known for his genre-fluid music, blending pop, jazz, Christian music, and piano-driven music to create something that’s out of the box. Riesen has been polishing his craft over the years, and he has now crafted a sound that amalgamates various motifs and musical goodness. What makes his music special is his inclination towards piano that adds a perfect charm to his sophisticated soundscapes.
Recently, Connor Riesen released an EP called ‘Beginnings, Vol. 3’, featuring three tracks that take you through an emotionally satisfying journey. With an introspective, understated character, the album carries a coming-of-age feel that gives it a light-hearted quality. The raw, organic acoustics and intimate production style make the songs feel like a breath of fresh air. All three songs carry an enchanting, understated appeal with a focus on instrumentation and controlled vocals. Riesen makes sure to take you through a rollercoaster ride with a gentle ascension in ‘Sparks’ and then following through with a deeply emotive portrayal in ‘I Know it’ and ‘Song of Storms’. A stylistic progression into deep psychological states through emotive soundscapes makes the EP shine through. A fascinating artistic appeal accentuates the song’s beauty even further.
An independent, raw quality to the tracks makes the songs feel like they are straight out of the artist’s notebook, displaying his fondest memories and feelings in an affectionate, artistic manner. The stunning ebb and flow of sounds in the tracks captivate the soul and leave you wanting more of Connor Riesen’s charm. Even though the songs are quite emotional with immersive acoustics and soul-touching piano chords, what grips the attention even further is the quiet restraint that Connor Riesen maintains throughout the album’s length, leaving room for vulnerability.
