Хания Рани
Хания Рани (Hania Rani; урождённая Ханна Ранижевска; род. 5 сентября 1990 года в Гданьске, Польша) – польская пианистка и композитор, получившая признание благодаря хрупким, нежным пьесам собственного сочинения и изящным аранжировкам произведений своих коллег, в которых сочетаются классическое звучание с трогательными текстами.
Хания Рани пишет для струнных, фортепиано, голоса и электроники, сотрудничала с такими музыкантами, как Кристиан Лёффлер (Christian Löffler), Хиор Хроник (Hior Chronik), Викингур Олафссон (Víkingur Ólafsson), группой Portico Quartet. В ее активе музыка для театральной постановки режиссера Михала Здуника (Michał Zdunik), альбомы Biała flaga (2015) и Inner Symphonies (2021) с виолончелисткой Добравой Чочер (Dobrawa Czocher) и альбом Mi (2018) дуэта Tęskno, который был удостоен художественной награды города Торунь им. Гжегожа Цеховского. География выступлений пианистки охватывает самые престижные концертные площадки Европы, от Национальной филармонии в Варшаве и Funkhaus в Берлине до Roundhouse в Лондоне, где она дебютировала на десятилетии лебйла Gondwana осенью 2018 года, и таких фестивалей, как Open’er, Scope Festival и Eurosonic.
Ханна Ранижевска (Hania Raniszewska), взявшая творческий псевдоним Хания Рани – польская пианистка и композитор, выпускница Музыкального университета им. Фредерика Шопена, которая живет на два города, путешествуя между Варшавой и Берлином. Девушка выросла в семье виолончелистки, воспитывала свои музыкальные вкусы на записях Pink Floyd, The Beatles и Генделя. В юности закончила музыкальную школу и серьезно увлеклась игрой на фортепиано, во многом из-за желания по-своему интерпретировать звучание и гармонические возможности инструмента во всей их полноте. Первое признание у себя на родине Ханна получила благодаря хрупким, нежным пьесам собственного сочинения и изящным аранжировкам произведений земляка Гжегожа Цеховского. Кроме того, Хания Рани – участница дуэта с виолончелисткой Добравой Чочер (Dobrawa Czocher) и дуэта Tęskno с вокалисткой Джоанной Лонгич (Joanna Longić), сочетающем в своих произведениях классическое звучание с трогательными текстами.
На своем дебютном сольном альбоме Esja, вышедшем на Gondwana Records в 2019 году, Хания Рани стремится передать ощущение безграничного пространства и времени, языком музыки выразить влияние Берлина, исландских пейзажей и гор Бещады в юго-восточной Польше, к которым пианистка с детства питает особую любовь. Материал был записан в квартире Ханны в Варшаве, ставшей для артистки своеобразной звуковой лабораторией, и в студии ее друга-звукорежиссера Бергура Ториссона (Bergur Þórisson) в Рейкьявике.
Продолжением неоклассического путешествия стал альбом Home, вышедший на Gondwana Records в 2020 году. «Мне кажется, Home, – говорит Хания Рани, – это вторая часть той же книги, начало которой было положено в Esja, музыкальной прелюдии к настоящему сюжету. Я чувствую, что Home – это история с концом, поэтому в следующей книге может быть рассказано совершенно другое. Я постоянно ищу новые способы самовыражения. Мне любопытно, куда Home приведет меня и мою музыку».
Как и все творческие личности, Хания Рани постоянно развивается в музыкальном плане и ищет новые возможности для воплощения своих идей и заветных мечт, в числе которых премия «Оскар» за музыку к фильму. https://www.last.fm/ru/music/hania+rani/+wiki

Hania Rani
Hania Rani is a pianist, composer and musician who splits her life between Warsaw, where she makes her home, and Berlin where she studied and often works. She has written for strings, piano, voice and electronics and has collaborated with the likes of Christian Löffler, Dobrawa Czocher and Hior Chronik. She has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in Europe – from the National Philharmony in Warsaw, to Funkhaus in Berlin, to The Roundhouse in London and at festivals such as Open’er, Scope Festival and Eurosonic. Her compositions for solo piano were born out of a fascination with the piano as an instrument, and her desire to interpret its sound and harmonic possibilities in their entirety and in her own way.
Her debut album ‘Esja’, a beguiling collection of solo piano pieces on Gondwana Records was released to international acclaim on April 5th 2019, including nominations in 5 categories in the Polish music industry’s very own Grammys, the Fryderyki, winning the Discovery of the Year 2019 in the Empik chain’s Bestseller Awards, plus the prestigious Sanki award for the most interesting new face of Polish music as chosen by Polish journalists. Rani also composed the music for her first full length movie “I Never Cry” directed by Piotr Domalewski, and for the play “Nora” directed by Michał Zdunik. Her song “Glass” was used as a soundtrack of a short movie by Małgorzata Szumowska for Miu Miu’s movie cycle “Women’s Tales”.
Her follow-up album ‘Home’, will be released digitally on May 29th and finds Rani adding vocals and subtle electronics to her music as well as being joined on some tracks by bassist Ziemowit Klimek and drummer Wojtek Warmijak. The album reunites her with recording engineers Piotr Wieczorek and Ignacy Gruszecki (Monochrom Studio), and the tracks were again mixed by Gijs van Klooster in his studio in Amsterdam and by Piotr Wieczorek in Warsaw (Ombelico and Come Back Home). Home was mastered by Zino Mikorey in Berlin (known for his work on albums by artists such as Nils Frahm and Olafur Arnalds).
“One can be lost but can find home in his inner part – which can mean many things – soul, imagination, mind, intuition, passion. I strongly believe that when being in uncertain times and living an unstable life we can still reach peace with ourselves and be able to find ‘home’ anywhere’ This is what I would like to express with my music – one can travel the whole world but not see anything. It is not where we are going but how much we are able to see and hear things happening around us”. — Hania Rani
Rani grew up in Gdansk with her parents (a doctor and architect) and surrounded by music and films. Initially inspired to study classical music, she was introduced to jazz and electronics at music school, widening her interests and as she puts it, “mixing Chopin & Schostakovitch with Dave Brubeck and Moderat”. Other inspirations include composers such as Max Richter, Esbjorn Svensson, Miles Davis, Nils Frahm, Murcof, Portico Quartet, Radiohead and even The Beatles. “It’s what connects all these artists that inspires me, their special approach to music and sound. For me they have big hearts and huge minds.”
But Rani’s inspirations aren’t just musical, she has drawn inspiration from places she has lived and visited. “It’s about the feeling, the general atmosphere, sometimes about memories. Moving to Berlin (where you have the freedom to be yourself), exploring Iceland and the wild mountains in Bieszczady, South-East Poland, all changed me as a person, so I guess, also affected me as an artist.”And inspiration comes too from visual arts. Her father was an architect and the arts remain hugely important to Rani. “I find that what really inspires my music is not the music, but all the other things. I take inspiration for the form of my own pieces from architecture and design. Then I translate this “foreign” language, to my own music and the outcome is way more interesting for me than just getting it from the music. Indeed, for Rani it is often an image or a colour that comes first, what she calls a sound image. “I can really feel the colours, the mood – just like with photography. If the image is strong enough, sounds come along very quickly, trying to build the right image stuck in my head. The music fills the space, the music brings the new worlds, new spaces. http://haniarani.com/about/

Info for 'Live from Studio S2'
The now iconic ‘Live from Studio S2’ memorizing performance gets a sought after limited vinyl edition and now features all four tracks from the session including the previously unreleased ‘Hawaii Oslo’ and ‘Glass’ which will also be available to stream and download. First premiered on the Gondwana Records YouTube channel on Sunday March 28th 2021 at 8:00 PM / 9:00PM CET, it has since become a global success reaching 3 million views and counting and has earned Rani many more devoted fans.
At the beginning of February 2021, I was invited by the Berlinale Film Festival to record a live set as a part of the EFM sessions which became the motivation to document this live performance.
I thought that bringing back my piano and equipment to the hall where I first recorded my live session videos for my debut album 'Esja' would be a nice idea and the right cinematic choice. This time, I wanted to use not only an upright piano, but also a grand piano and some other keyboards including a Prophet 08 synthesizer and a Roland stage piano.
Studio S2 is one of the recording studios inside the Polish Radio building in Warsaw and used primarily for recording classical and film music. The hall is fully covered with light wood, which reminds me of other Radio Studios all around the world – like Funkhaus in Berlin. It felt very special to be in the hall again where we recorded the music video for "Glass", one of my most liked videos. There is a kind of intimacy when playing the little piano in this huge and also very high venue.
I decided to rearrange some of my favourite songs, which I have been performing live for years. The set starts with 'Hawaii Oslo', which is built on a piano loop, followed by 'Glass' with a new intro and outro and closing with 'Leaving' and 'Buka' – this time accompanied with new layers which change the mood and rhythmic pattern of both songs.
The session was filmed by my long-time collaborators – Mateusz Miszczyński, recorded by Agata Dankowska, mixed by Piotr Wieczorek and mastered by Zino Mikorey in Berlin. Recorded live on February 4th, 2021 in Studio S2 of the Polish Radio in Warsaw. https://haniarani.bandcamp.com/album/live-from-studio-s2-complete-session
