hopeless - in progress

Sometimes I wake up in a different bed, in a different city, at a different time. Everything around me is new and there is excitement about all the possibilities. But there’s also a bit of anxiety and maybe even dread. My anchor is gone, and I am drifting with the current, afloat among the unfamiliar waters. This is when I turn back towards music. Music that makes me feel like I am safe, serene and cosy. Music that I often call my home. This is precisely what I hear in the soft piano keys of the Norwegian pianist and composer Øystein Skar, who has announced his upcoming debut album, titled Hem. I may not know him as a person, and yet his playing makes me calm. I may not truly know his story, and yet his story’s somehow mine. And while I navigate the stormy weather, this ray of sunshine points the way. In these turbulent and truly anxious times, I turn back towards home. I turn back towards music.

Composed during winter’s embrace in his woodland home outside Oslo (I imagine a hushed sanctuary of a snow-draped retreat), the piece embodies the album’s central theme of homecoming – not merely to a physical place, but to essential truths long carried within. In its patient build and emotional resolution, “Levva” invites listeners into the intimate geography of Skar’s personal mindspace. The piece stands as testimony to what becomes possible when an artist, after years of outward exploration, turns the compass needle toward the territories of the heart.

"Levva, meaning “to live well,” is a longer, more experimental track blending classical, improvisational, and electronic music. Anchored by a synth arpeggiation and a piano melody, the piece has two parts with the second evolving into an expansive, percussive, and dreamy landscape created with an array of synths. For me, it’s about embracing strength through authenticity." — Øystein Skar

Welcome to my sonic world! This is where my music lives, fueled by a rebellious spirit that always puts authenticity first. If you march to your own beat, you've found your tribe here in the shades of my gray.

My sound? Think post-rock, but with a twist. It's built on modern-classical piano, fused with the raw energy of 2000s rock, and wrapped in soundscapes. Influences like Helen Jane Long, Ludovico Einaudi, Amy Lee, and Christopher Larkin blend into something uniquely mine. It might feel weird, even alien, but for those who love the unconventional and music beyond simple black and white, you're home.

My goal is simple: to create honestly and remind you that your unique, complex path is your strength. There's no single 'correct' way to be – just endless, beautiful shades. Hope my music inspires you!
