Housekeys at The Hideout
Housekeys is the solo ambient project of New York City-based multi-instrumentalist and creative polymath, Tiffiny Costello. Tiffiny has been playing music since she was in 1st grade, and has composing and performing as Housekeys since 2014 and uses mostly pianos, synths, keyboards, accented through effects pedals to create warm, mostly wordless, pieces. The inspiration for Tiffiny’s music is deeply rooted in emotion, melancholy, and chaos. She is heavily influenced by the neoclassical and avant-garde genres and loves to create a feeling or emotional reaction with her music, more so than focusing solely on the arrangement or structure of the song. Her music is improvised most of the time, and often incorporates field sounds collected from various places, such as Iceland, the Cascades, and even the New York City Subway. Tiffiny has a full-length album set for a 2023 release, along with a full-length music film. The first single from her forthcoming album will be released on March 11, 2022.
