In his second solo piano recording 'Reflections' Sid presents his own compositions. In them he combines the creation of beautifully crafted melodies with the immediacy of spontaneous improvisation. Sid responds to and is guided by the music and the silence that surround him. The melodies serve as a starting point for a musical journey that leads within. His music reflects a state of allowing and letting go, to which the artistry of the pianist gives a musical shape. Sid compares this fascinating process to the moon reflecting the light of the sun and by her mere presence causing magical beauty. Sid's 'Reflections' were played on a Steinway Concert Grand and invite the listener to ease into the same space of receptivity, availability and joy, that they originate from. An exquisite listening experience, a key to the NOW.

Sid Hille was born 1961, in Freiburg, Germany. He studied piano, jazz improvisation and composition at the music academy in Utrecht, Netherlands, from 1987 to 1994. Sid currently lives in Finland where he teaches jazz and improvisation at the Ostrobothnian Conservatory in Kokkola. Apart from teaching, he has his own jazz band which is well-known in Europe through their touring and two releases in that area with the label A-Records in the Netherlands. For the past ten years, along with his many activities in jazz, he has been involved in numerous recordings of meditation and world music. These experiences and his life with Osho, whom he met in 1981, inspire him in his solo piano playing, where he endeavors to instill the spontaneous expression in sound with the timelessness of silence.
