Description
Sweden's Joel Lundberg is a multi-talented musical wizkid - As a performer(on guitar and bass!) he has toured the US, Japan and throughout Europe with Kristoffer & The Harbour Heads.
On top of that supporting artists like Debbie Harry and Mumford & Sons. With a master's degree in composition and improvisation from University of Gothenburg, studying under Professor Johannes Landgren and Professor Anders Jormin, he is a featured composer and arranger on recordings in various genres. For the app Sleep Cycle he has produced hour-long, ever-changing ambient tonal works for modular synthesizer.
His first album of classical piano compositions, Music from a Room (2020)invoked comparisons to Debussy, Ravel and Satie - "while remainingfirmly at home in the 21st century" - and critical acclaim: "A refreshing respite from an uncertain reality." (No Dead Guys)"Often lush with rich textures" (Planet Hugill)
The follow-up album, Odysseys and Apostrophes, is an openminded exploration, an associative investigation, a stream-of-consciousness-like musical journey. Once again performed by pianist Kalle Stenbacken.
First track released was immediately picked up by Nils Frahm, and is featured on his very popular playlist on DSPs.
