I recently have been increasingly drawn to the piano as a main composing vehicle to express a calmer emotion. This song was recorded on a large upright felt piano to capture the emotional, intimate and tender tones of a gentle sunrise.

Steyl - The Silent Hour Of Night

Chilly Night

My grandfather used to say, ‘When you see the castle on the hill, you know you’re home.’ However, home is not always so easy to define. It can be the place where you were born or where you live. It doesn’t have to be just one place. Sometimes, it’s a person who makes you feel at home. But no matter where home is, the feeling is always the same. This is what home feels like to me.

'Inner Compass' is a journey through the emotional world within. The pieces are inspired by places and the emotions I associate with them. The Inner Compass leads the way through it all.

Inner Compass

“Cap Gris Nez” embodies a musical journey as enigmatic and profound as the scenic vistas of its namesake, a renowned headland in France. 
This track unfurls a rich auditory landscape, inviting listeners to embark on a voyage not just through sound but through emotion and memory.

In every note, there is a whisper of the sea breeze and the echo of distant horizons, a testament to the diverse cultures and environments that have shaped the artists’ unique sound. The composition delicately intertwines with the essence of Yann Tiersen‘s mesmerizing soundscapes, creating a narrative that is both intimate and expansive. Michele Nobler presents a piece that mirrors the minimalist lifestyle and the deep appreciation for the beauty found in simplicity.

“Cap Gris Nez” stands as a beacon for the wandering soul, a symphony that captures the convergence of varied musical influences into a seamless harmony. This track is an ode to the artist’s journey across the tapestry of life, embracing frugality and the richness it brings to art. It serves as a poignant reminder that music, akin to life itself, knows no boundaries. It is a celebration of the world’s cultural mosaic, seen through the eyes of those who find endless inspiration in its diversity.

In the serene embrace of “Cap Gris Nez,” listeners find an open invitation to traverse the landscape of memories and dreams, where every melody is a footprint left on the heart’s shore, inviting reflection, connection, and an unspoken promise of return to the tranquil beauty of Cap Gris Nez.

'Great Expectations' is the third single released by Lucent Lake in 2025. Piano-focused but lighter in tone than previous songs from this year, it represents a distillation of two disparate influences.

One: the work of brilliant composer (and fellow Angeleno) John Carroll Kirby, who released a beautiful and reflective piano-centered album 'Conflict' in 2020.

Two: a Japanese TV show drama on Netflix from 2023, 'The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House' which traces the heartfelt story of two young women finding their footing and friendship in a Geisha house.

Somewhere over the last few years, the melodies, beauty, and stories melded together and inspired 'Great Expectations'. Like a scale lightly descending (and in no hurry), the song is a peaceful meditation on hope.

Once One

"Contándote todo" is a tender solo piano piece that radiates warmth and intimacy. Its flowing melody carries the lightness of a heartfelt conversation, where every note feels like a shared smile or a gentle touch. Romantic at its core and imbued with a quiet joy, the music unfolds like sunlight through an open window — bright, sincere, and full of affection.

I´m glad you found me and making music is the best I know.
When I composed the album "The River" & "The River Reworked" I tried to make sense of the beauty when melody and harmony interact and with the wish that this will affect the listener.
I wrote it to put into sound that which cannot be expressed through words. 
To navigate the waters of the deep soul. 
To explore the melodies that flow in my veins.
Please share my music with your friends if you like it.
Have a nice day,
Kristoffer.
