Hemligheter på vägen, lyrics by Tomas Tranströmer.
"Dagsljuset träffade ansiktet på en som sov.
Han fick en livligare dröm men vaknade ej.
Mörkret träffade ansiktet på en som gick
bland de andra i solens starka otåliga strålar.
Det mörknade plötsligt som av ett störtregn.
Jag stod i ett rum som rymde alla ögonblick-
ett fjärilsmuseum.
Och ändå solen lika starkt som förut.
Dess otåliga penslar målade världen."


Secrets on the way, lyrics by Tomas Tranströmer.
"Daylight struck the face of a man who slept.
His dream was more vivid 
but he did not awake.
Darkness struck the face of a man who walked
among the others in the sun's strong 
impatient rays.
It was suddenly dark, like a downpour.
I stood in a room that contained every moment - 
a butterfly museum. 
And the sun still as strong as before.
Its impatient brushes were painting the world."

To Venus And Back - Live

"They Were Already Here" is a new piece of piano music from Tvärvägen. Loosely a standalone sequel to the previous track "Phantom Signals", it builds on familiar motifs, yet it's fully its own world, slow paced, with a lighter touch, but the same great width and depth. Tvärvägen has previously released four albums.

Tvärvägen – They Were Already Here

Fences

#pianoday2021

It is riding a hot air balloon above the Serengeti. In a basket floating through the air. The basket hanging from a bag of more—slightly warmer—air. Weightless, windless, speechless motion.

Of all superhero traits, flight is the one to have. Soaring above the rabble. Or, if not the rabble, wheat fields in Kansas.

Or, if not in a balloon, or as a hero, it must be at the piano.

A musical murmuration of the starlings. Wings spread to inspiration.

Unspeakable musical soaring. And just as the starlings swoop and rise, so may I.

This collection of improvisations hints at what’s to come. From spare piano musings of Murmur to the craggy electronic Moored Boats. Watch for new music in 2021.

“En un camino cualquiera me despido de mí mismo y me abandono a mi suerte. Me dejo ahí y me voy. Camino de regreso a ninguna parte y a ratos me volteo para observar mi silueta. Sigo ahí, quieto, pero ya no me reconozco. Me observo hasta ser un punto fundido en un fondo, entonces me volteo definitivamente, me olvido de mí y escucho”. (Oscar Carmona)
