Dang. A whole refresh on Saman. So good. Really breathtaking music.

I still play this song almost every day.

[erichofmann]

Perfect. Momentary is so fragile and sad. And Saman is the Moonshine sonata of this millennium

Thanks for the beautiful music Ólafur. I’m a huge fan of your solo work, your collaborations with Nils Frahm, and your Kiasmos project.

So beautiful😇 I love this music and I love the sound of an old piano... the sound of the worn keys clicking with that lovely mellow sound. Olafur Arnolds, thank you for composing such beauty, all around wonderful art. You are bringing my soul to peace💚🌿

I realize that piano probably isn't actually old, but it sounds a lot like my hundred year old mellow piano... and it makes that soft clicking sound from pressing the keys. I love the technique of an open piano allowing that brush of friction to be part of the beautiful sound.

You’re amazingly gifted! Excited to hear your collab with Odesza today!
