Eric Pan creates novel and transportive experiences for audiences, incorporating musical performance, improvisation, collaboration, and immersive storytelling. This year, he releases a three-volume album titled Travel Poems. It's an unconventional debut. In the rainforests of Costa Rica, what began as a series of song-postcards based on stories of people and places soon blossomed a recording tour, leading to pianos across four continents. The resulting 30-track sonic kaleidoscope boasts solo, duo, and trio performances, threaded through soundscape narratives also curated from around the world. Live performances of Travel Poems feature its expansive repertoire, and additionally explore a complementary idea: how music is itself a means of travel. Eric delivers his peculiar vision for immersive storytelling, interwoven with song and collective improvisation, to carry audiences into a variety of sound-imagination spaces. Featuring Nir Sabag (drums) and Hugo Reydet (bass) on “Discovery after Dark”, “Foot of the Carpathians”, and “Wheelhouse of Wonder (Welcome Home)”. Trilogy album recorded in countries across four continents by Eric Pan and Brian Trahan, mixed by Brian Trahan in New York and Berlin. Mastered by Ruairi O’Flaherty in Los Angeles. Painting album art by Krys Unverzagt. Calligraphy by Jitesh Patel. Full credits for found-sound collaborators at TravelPoems.com.
