Listen to ‘Tree Of Light – A Call To Arms’ HERE

 ‘Tree Of Light – A Call To Arms’ is an intensely moving song. On the track RIOPY commented, “It’s a call to humanity to fight – not the wars outside, but to fight the wars inside us. A wake up call. If we are all kind to each other, and kind and compassionate and nice to ourselves and each other, we will have a better chance to save ourselves and the planet.”

RIOPY knows better than most the power of the piano. The self-taught prodigy has used the instrument as his weapon of choice: an instrument, in both senses of the word, for emotional change, environmental action, pioneering neuro-science, love, connection and togetherness.

His latest masterpiece, ‘Tree of Light’, is a ten-track album of self-composed instrumental music, each with a feeling, all with a message and all with a purpose. As he puts it: “I use the piano is a medium to communicate. There is life and joy and pain and feeling in my music.”

Album highlights include the powerful opening track ‘Tree of Light – A Call To Arms’, the rhythmically calming ‘Blue Moon’ and the uplifting album closer, ‘New World’.

RIOPY is one of the leading composers of the 21^st century. His music has featured on trailers for award-winning films (The Shape of Water, Mr Turner, The Danish Girl) as well as recognisable advertisements (Peugeot 508, Hulu, Armani, Samsung). His song ‘I Love You’ featured ‘SKAM France’, the French international re-make of Norweigan Skam, leading to millions of streams across all platforms. ‘Tree of Light’ is the follow up to last years incredible self-titled album and a fantastic addition to RIOPY’s discography.
