What musician doesn't dream of sending an EP out into the world? On 12 August, that dream will come true for Dutch pianist Challem. It is the honesty in the music of Challem, pseudonym of Joachim van Marrewijk, that appeals to many. His pieces read like a diary. "It is an instinctive phase in which the thoughts that reach me lead to these compositions," says the solo pianist about his work. The EP Aparigraha is the first in his oeuvre and contains six unique works, a mix of dreamy and reflective compositions. For this debut album, which can be heard on all well-known streaming platforms from 12 August 2022, Challem worked together with Sam Jones of Studio Joneski and Davide Ruffini of Wisseloord Studios.
