Releasenotes:
Jacob David's old piano, built in 1919, has felt and cotton wool between the
strings and the hammer heads to obtain a raw and dusty sound. The simplicity of
the piano occasionally woven together with string arrangements and the subtle
sounds of field recordings, creates an intimate, thoughtful and organic
atmosphere.

The title omkuld is a Danish word that translates into something like
overwhelmed, turned sideways or tumbled to the ground by wind or emotion. I
think that word suits the music because it sums up how the piano and writing
works for me. When I play I keep my head close to the strings and keys, and
there is a lot of noise from the wood and all the mechanics of the instrument.
But when music integrates, it kind of creates its own silent space. And to me,
writing music is about letting go, surrendering to whatever mood or melody
emerges from that space.
