Upplýsingar á Bandcamp:
Gabriel began playing the piano at age 5, studying classical and jazz piano, but always preferring to veer away from traditional teachings, playing by ear and making up his own miniature melodies and musical phrases. The musician discovered how the use of felt piano created a new other-worldly texture – a certain density to the notes he composed;
“I like to put a layer of fabric between the hammers and strings of my piano to make it sound softer, and then I just play what I’m feeling or thinking at that moment - and then I try to capture it on my tape recorder”.
Olafs is expert in the art of tension, creating a lingering breath in between the gaps – something he observes about good movies. Single ‘Absent Minded’ expresses those lost-in-thought moments, the daydreams, the imaginary worlds we create in our quietest hours. Called so, because people have always referred to Olafs as absent minded;
“I like to imagine things and let my mind drift off” he says. “The piece is very personal to me - I've had this melody in my head ever since I was 14, and I finally completed the piece this year.”
