Description

 

One Little Indian are proud to announce Gabríel Ólaf’s latest release ‘Piano Works’. It’s a collection of piano-only tracks, some brand new and others being re-works of songs from his debut album ‘Absent Minded’.

 

Gabríel has the following to say about the record:

 

“After recording and releasing my debut LP ‘Absent Minded’, one evening in January 2020 I went to a studio by the sea in Reykjavík and recorded alternative piano versions of the pieces from my debut LP , as well as new pieces that were born during the recording of this EP. It is a solo piano album as all sounds are created by an upright and a grand piano – the ambient version of Lóa is also only created by the sounds from the piano, using e-bows, delays, and reverse processing.”

 

“During recording there was a storm (red weather warning meaning that you shouldn’t drive or walk outside). While I’m playing the old upright you can sometimes hear the howling wind blowing through the window next to it. Even though it didn’t turn out perfect, I thought there was a magic to the performance recordings we made that night and I embraced the imperfections.””
