I suppose that it is inevitable for a writeup about a solo piano album to begin with an acknowledgment of the current state of affairs in the present classical music scene (a term I coined to balance out the "modern classical" and "contemporary classical" genres, which also signifies the act of being present during the act of listening). It's inevitable to admit the oversaturation of this style as composers and pianists all rush to jump on the bandwagon of the trend and get a piece of that much-coveted pie from the digital platform streaming revenues, no matter how small it is in the end. But it's also extremely essential to point out that not every solo piano album recorded in the night with close-mic'ed felted hammers gently caressing the strings conveys the emotion of its creator and connects us to his soul. All of the ones I've loved have been covered on here. But it is the playing of Otto A Totland that I cherish the most. From the delicate melodies to his beautiful playing, from the tastefully somber storytelling to the technical attention put in each recording, and finally from the overall delivery to the completely absorbing transfer of his mind to mine, through the keys and the fingers, that is what makes this Norwegian composer stand out among the rest. For this exclusive premiere, I have selected one of my favorite tracks from his upcoming album on Sonic Pieces, which happens to be the same one he played on my very own piano when he has visited London about two years ago (okay, so I'm a little bit biased towards that piece). Nevertheless, I invite you to close your eyes and listen and see if you can uncover that memory that seems to somehow remain forlorn.

Honestly, Yggdrasil is one of the most ambitious and proudest projects I have done to date.
It is an album in which represents me who I am and where I am going (as a music producer and as a person). In which it faithfully reflect my feelings, my emotions and my way of interpreting what life is.
Sincerely in this album I have put everything I have had in my hands until leaving it as it is today.

Huge thanks to @michaelfkofficial, @dessinbizarre, and @ludvigcimbrelius for participating musically, and to @stereoscenic for giving me the opportunity to release it with them. Without their input, this could not have been done.
