London-based pianist, composer and singer Hania Rani was born and raised in Poland, where she went through classical training in Warsaw before relocating to Berlin. And it was there, at the heart of Europe's club scene, that she fell in love with electronic music, eventually figuring out a way to integrate her placid, ornate solo piano compositions with delicate synthesized elements. Widely-known for her film and television work - she even provided music for ITV's coverage of the English football team - Rani is a quiet but imposing presence, and with her Chilling Bambino alter-ego explores electronic sounds even more rigorously. It's this project that allows her to let loose, focusing on her beloved Prophet synthesizer and augmenting her fluttering melodies with psychedelic rhythms.
