Scotch & Bonnet Music is the independent publishing and production arm of Scotch & Bonnet. We produce and release classical piano recordings with the same care, clarity, and timeless presentation that define our work.
Each project begins with the pianist's interpretive vision.
Scotch & Bonnet Music shapes the sound to match that intent,
bringing out the beauty, movement, and musicality in the playing.
What results is meant to be lived with, over years of listening.
Current Recording Project
The first release from Scotch & Bonnet Music, Interpretations, Volume I: Bach will be released on May 19, 2026 across major digital platforms.
This debut recording from pianist Sousarion centers on two works by Johann Sebastian Bach: the Aria from Cantata BWV 147, the Myra Hess piano transcription, and the Toccata in E minor, BWV 914. A third track is included without prior announcement.
The program is deliberately concise, conceived not as a survey but as a point of entry into a broader recording series. Interpretive decisions throughout the release are shaped by movement, structure, and musical line, while the production preserves dynamic range, tonal continuity, and spatial coherence.
Release details and listening links will be announced here first.
About the Artist: Sousarion
Sousarion is the recording name of the flagship pianist at Scotch & Bonnet Music. The pseudonym honors the ancient Athenian linked with the birth of Attic comedy and keeps attention on the work rather than the life behind it.
His work centers on interpretation as a primary artistic act. Technique is taken seriously, but only as a means of shaping musical line, balance, and color.
Sousarion’s performances are marked by careful attention to musical detail and scale. He favors interpretations that are adventurous and exploratory, engaging the listener through contrast, pacing, and tonal color. His playing seeks to renew a sense of discovery and beauty within the classical piano repertoire.

Studio & Sound
Scotch & Bonnet Music records with a sound that sits between the intimacy of a close listening perspective and the bloom of a small hall. The piano is voiced for presence without brittleness, and balanced so that inner lines and harmony can register without the sound ever turning thin.
The aim is simple: a resonant, living piano tone, close enough to feel the instrument, spacious enough for the music to sing.
