Siwan is an album by pianist Jon Balke recorded in 2007/08 and released on the ECM label in 2009.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "Every track here reveals something unusual, brings something hidden and alien to the fore even as it beguiles the listener with its intimacy of secret histories and knowledge. Siwan is Balke's masterpiece thus far, and will hopefully become as influential as it is groundbreaking".[2]
