about

Ambient Piano type of music, improvisations with some orchestral touch on some of the tracks.

The Piano recording was recorded and performed by Sverre Knut Johansen, 11 December 2018. Produced and mixed at "Space Center Music Production" in 2019 by Sverre Knut Johansen.

When I was in Praha in 1996 I bought this «Z cyclu Okno mého ateliéru» picture, used on the front cover of his album, its a copy of one of Josef Sudeks photo taken between 1940 and 1954 from his studio window.

Josef Sudek (1896–1976) was a Czech photographer best known for his elegiac black-and-white images of Prague, interiors, still lifes, and the landscapes of Bohemian forests. Many of Sudek’s most memorable images were taken from the window of his small studio, documenting his humble courtyard during changing weather and light conditions. “Everything around us, dead or alive, in the eyes of a crazy photographer mysteriously takes on many variations,” he explained, “so that a seemingly dead object comes to life through light or by its surroundings.” Born on March 17, 1896 in Kolín, Czechoslovakia, Sudek originally worked as a bookbinder before serving in the Austro-Hungarian Army during the First World War, when he was wounded and subsequently lost his right arm to amputation. Undaunted, he began to study under the photographer Jaromir Funke and grew into an influential figure of the medium. Today, Sudek’s works can now be found in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among others. He died on September 15, 1976 in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

Instantly fell in love with this upon it's release. "Electron Birth" level of Berlin school electronica. A bit of a slow start with the first track, where it really gets off midway. Other than that, they are all great. Schrödinger's Cat

I prefer the simple foundation sounds before all the other layers are put into most of Steve’s albums. They seem to resonate with me far more which is why I enjoy his subscription option. Smoke-Wind

I really like this release. I hope it gets a CD release, even if it's just a little run in a ecopac form. tadreaming
