TRPTK Nine-Year Anniversary Sampler

"If you’re reading this, it means that you’ve gotten your hands on a copy of the TRPTK Nine Year Anniversary Sampler. It means you’re in for a treat. TRPTK has put 17 of their favorite delights in this little chocolate box of music. It also means that TRPTK has been in existence for nine years. Starting with three rebellious youngsters and a dream, growing into an extended family of seven crew members and 197 artists. Those 203 people have collectively recorded 97 albums, EPs and singles, and shared their music with hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. (for those doing the math: we didn’t miscount, one of our staff members is also an artist on the label) You having this album in your hands, about ready to play it in your hi-fi system. It also means that you, our dear listener, have been with us for a part or all of these years. Words cannot describe my gratitude for your support, your generosity, and your endless thirst for new and exciting music. Without this — without you — none of this would be possible. What it doesn’t mean is that we’re leaving it here, at just nine years. If it’s up to us, there will be a ten-year anniversary, a 25-year anniversary, … Heck, we’ll go on as long as we can, as far as the music takes us. Many more great projects await, many more releases we’re so excited to share with you in the future. But for now, thank you so much for being here, for unwrapping this album, our nine-year anniversary sampler, and hopefully enjoying the content on it as much as we’ve enjoyed recording, mixing and mastering it." - Brendon Heinst, TRPTK Featured Musicians Alma Quartet Artem Belogurov Dmitry Ferschtman Ed Spanjaard Helena Basilova Konstantyn Napolov l'Ora Blu Luis Cabrera Mattias Spee Maya Fridman Nicolas van Poucke Postscript Rembrandt Frerichs South Netherlands Philharmonic Vinsent Planjer
