Driven by dynamic contrasts - quiet introspection and explosive climaxes, acoustic warmth and electronic edge - The Hungry Heart flows with cinematic intensity and rich musical detail. Orchestral strings, shimmering keys, heavy guitars, and expressive saxophone shape a soundscape that’s both immersive and unpredictable.

 

"My vision is to create music that is progressive in all aspects. I feel that the approach to smalltape’s music is about connecting dots between different styles, colors, and musical forms to create a unique shape of sound - which tells you a story of its own." - Philipp Nespital

 

The Hungry Heart confronts critical topics of our times: mental health, racism, gender roles, and climate change. In nine compact songs and one 21-min long track, smalltape takes us on an exploration through the narrative of his generation and examines what it means to cope with the fear and desires that surface with change.
