I feel almost lifted off the ground....love this

Following the warmly-received Paces (1631 Recordings/Decca Publishing) and the collaborative Stadsbilder (Time Released Sound), Swedish composer and multi-instrumentalist Jakob Lindhagen presents his second solo full-length album Memory Constructions on piano and coffee records.

Recorded together with German brother-duo Sebastian and Daniel Selke (aka CEEYS, whose collaborations also include Ólafur Arnalds and Spitfire) and longtime artistic collaborator Sofia Nystrand (Vargkvint), the album merges elements of neoclassical and ambient music, with a foundation of intimate piano works paired with violoncello and vocal synth, expanded with musical saw, kantele, bowed glockenspiel and sound experiments, recorded to analogue equipment. 

”Memories are an equally complicated as fascinating aspect of the human mind. After realizing a couple of memories from my childhood surroundings simply didn’t add up - the timeline didn’t make sense so I couldn’t have been in that place at that time, or a block of houses not being placed where they actually were - I became slightly obsessed with memory research. Our memories play such a huge part of our identities, yet they are extremely unreliable, change and fade over time, and are easily influenced and manipulated. And yet I couldn’t help myself also finding beauty in the fact that I both completely trust and distrust my own memories, that make up who I am. So digging from these slightly contradicting feelings, and from where my own memories are either constructed, fading, forgotten, rewritten, made up or completely true, this album was concieved.” 

Memory Constructions has been supported by the Swedish Arts Council, and is coming out digitally and on limited edition vinyl on the 23rd of September, featuring artwork by Sofia Nystrand and desing/layout by Celia Bayo.

Jakob Lindhagen - Tomorrow

Here's a preview of the debut album "Crown Shyness" by Wodwo (@user-364196783-552705040) and myself. The full release is available now on both Wodwo's and my Bandcamp pages.

About this project:

Crown Shyness is a collaborative project between ambient musicians encym and Wodwo. 

Since connecting in 2021, they have developed their music through a continuous exchange of ideas and sounds, constructing each composition layer by layer. This collaborative approach has blurred the lines between their contributions, creating a seamless blend of influences and styles that makes it nearly impossible to tell who contributed what to each track. 

The project draws its title from a fascinating natural phenomenon where the crowns of trees avoid touching each other, forming gaps in the canopy. This term metaphorically reflects the nature of this musical collaboration—each artist maintaining their unique presence while contributing to a unified whole, leaving just enough space for the other to inhabit.

“Why does the world need a Piano Day? For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” – Nils Frahm

2020 was a very tough year for all of us around the world. Covid 19 has affected nearly everyone on the planet. With this in mind, I sat at the piano and improvised this emotional piece of music. It almost felt like the music was an extension of my feelings.
