Pêtr Aleksänder is the project which includes London based musicians Eliot James and Tom Hobden. They call their music "alternative modern classical". Their music features richly textured sound filled with strings, electronics and the creaky, muted piano. Following the 2019 release of their debut album Closer, Still, they announced the release of a new EP. Another World is out now via Kin Records.
Talking the inspiration behind the track, Eliot explains "' The Something Else' is an instrumental arrangement for piano and strings built around 16 repeating notes which were originally inspired by Pachelbel's Canon. Our 16 notes provide the backbone for a sweeping string arrangement which ebbs and flows around the central theme, accompanied by some slices of vocals and electronics which allude to the wider theme of our EP. Its a piece of music we have been playing and experimenting with live and became a natural starting point for the new wave of music we have been working on recently ".
