Nice piano theme. reminds me of a kind of modern version of the Goldberg variations. great work.

The theme is not original. Sadly.
But even more so during this time, Music is a journey. A way to run away, to escape inside. Hope this will work for you while listening !

To create these confined atmospheres, the influences were clearly Max Richter, Jan Garbarek, Olafur Arnalds and Robert Fripp.
And I can't forget the kind message of encouragement I got while composing these pieces by the great pianist and composer Melaine Dalibert.

Perpetum a

I try to reach.. But nothing gives
When I’m awake we shall see 
Now I reason with my wandering mind
& you're too easy on the magic

We're flying carpenters
We draw the daze away
With all our sea shanties
Your drowsy head
Will forget surely all i said
When the morning rises up above
And i know that i'm alone
Just a weirdo

Don't stay behind, you're way beyond
Taught by the school of the ocean deep
When the morning comes, give the lot
To the hearts of the lost ones

We're flying carpenters
We draw the daze away
With all our sea shanties
When the morning rises up above
And i know that i'm alone 
Just a weirdo
Just a weirdo

Flying Carpenters

Glåsbird returns following the debut EP ‘Drift Stations’ which was a digital only release on Whitelabrecs just prior to Christmas last year. The eagerly awaited full-length debut album is something that this currently anonymous artist has carefully shaped over a lengthy period of time and it is entitled Grønland. Those looking to the themes of the North Pole and travel through the treacherous Arctic Circle which were contained within Drift Stations, will see a pattern of travel or rather, migration developing. Next stop – Greenland, the world’s largest island as well as one of the most uninhabited landmasses on the planet, which is thanks to stark temperatures and the permanent ice sheet which occupies most of this land.

Glåsbird imagined that they were assigned the task of scoring the soundtrack to a film about Greenland and spent a great deal of time researching the subject. Hours of documentaries, drone helicopter footage, NASA and satellite images, Instagram traveller accounts, 360° photos, web articles and maps were surveyed, to the point where this artist felt sufficiently immersed in this sub-zero but beautiful land. One such traveller/photographer who has physically witnessed the splendour of Greenland is Lennart Pagel, who kindly provided the cover image; the shot not only captures the essence of this country with its iced mountains, freezing lake and primary-coloured cabin but also there is a bold starkness which lends itself to this soundtrack.

Two releases in and whilst we’re no clearer as to who is behind this project, it is clear that Glåsbird is becoming synonymous with storytelling and specifically travel or migration, if you prefer.
The music itself adopts a Modern Classical approach with icy piano shards shimmering alongside glacial violin and cello drones as well as the occasional hint of grounding electric guitar. We’re told that the artist even recorded some sections of sounds to cassette before placing the tape in the freezer to give an added chill factor.

We’ve decided that such an impactful concept would suit a special ‘gatefold LP’ style packaging that we’ve run a couple of times as well as an increased run of 100 copies. Where will the Glåsbird land next?
