about

PABLO HELD • EMBRACING YOU
HOPALIT 001


Embracing You in a nutshell:
• The album is dedicated to my wife and kids. It's a family album
• I'm playing piano, synths, mellotron & celesta on it. And I'm whistling
• I wrote eight of the pieces. Wayne Shorter, John Taylor & Thelonious Monk wrote the rest
• It was recorded on four different sessions in three studios between Summer 2020 and Spring 2021
• Recording engineers were Oliver Bergner, Eva Pöpplein & Oliver Lutz
• I produced the record myself, my friend Jason Seizer co-produced it
• It was mixed by Rob Griffin & mastered by Christoph Stickel
• Singer/songwriter Chris Weisman wrote in-depth liner notes
• My friend Nadine Heller Menzel took beautiful photos
• The artwork was designed by my friend / PHI producer Till Kammertöns

excerpt from the liner notes by Chris Weisman:
"Though this is the work of one person alone, it is an inclusive wonder of many voices. May Pablo grace us again, in the future, with another such outing. This is my jam."
