About the Release

Originally recorded in one take at Livingston Studios in 2009, The Nile is a gospel-leaning piano piece composed by Aron Ottignon — an energetic and joyful meditation on life’s movement, struggle, and flow.

This session remained unreleased for over a decade, caught in the disruption of independent labels during the early digital era. Now revived and restored, it represents a return to raw, expressive playing rooted in gratitude and spirit.

The Nile becomes a metaphor for life itself — winding, intense, ever-shifting — ending in release.

“The Nile is a song I wrote for live performance — it’s a kind of gospel expression of being alive. We captured it in one shot, and it always stayed with me.” — Aron Ottignon
