Live, not a playlist
A person at the piano changes a room. Guests hear it, even while they're talking.
About us
Live music belongs in everyday life.
Urban Resonance brings live piano to where people eat, meet and arrive: restaurants, cafés, bars and hotels in Cologne. Regular, acoustic and with no effort for the hosts.
Our philosophy
What we stand for.
Acoustic and in the background
No amplifier, no stage show. Music that creates atmosphere and carries conversation.
Our own repertoire
More than 200 pieces by Giotto Roussies, plus melodies from jazz, pop and film. New ones are added every year.
Reliably organised
Pianists, repertoire, planning and documentation come from us. Hosts take care of their guests.
Artistic direction
Giotto Roussies
Giotto Roussies is a trained jazz pianist and composer from Cologne. He founded Urban Resonance, writes the repertoire and plays live regularly himself, for example at Namos. With LiveLog he has developed his own app that pianists use to manage their repertoire and document every performance.
