Gonzales Enlists Feist, Jamie Lidell for DVD
Also releases solo album

Electro-MC, symphony-minded producer, Feist/Jamie Lidell/Daft Punk/Peaches collaborator, and sometimes-solo pianist Gonzales has of late been working a little harder on that "sometimes" gig, as evidenced by the Solo Piano CD he'll drop on our heads April 3. Yeah, so maybe the creative synapses weren't fully firing in the title department, but that doesn't mean Gonzales won't blow minds with his signature blend of classical forms and electronic flourishes.

Gonzales has been tickling ivories aplenty of late in his Piano Vision performance series, which finds him on the bench by his lonesome, schooling a "masterclass" of stage-storming audience members, and capping things off with appearances by the likes of Feist, Jamie Lidell and Mocky. Gonzales' vision will see its way to you in DVD form May 8 when From Major to Minor, a film capturing Gonzales and friends at play, sees release. Note that the US release of this DVD will differ from the double-disc version already available in Europe.

Gonzales is also looking to unlock his 88 keys for a handful of late-spring dates.
