Stefán Hafsteinsson – Heima EP (2021)

 


GENRE : neo classical, modern classical, instrumental piano, ambient, electronic, Iceland
RECORD LABEL : Moderna Records

Here's a beautiful little EP by Icelandic composer/pianist Stefán Hafsteinsson. It's short and delicate, yet powerful and heartbreaking. These four instrumental piano pieces are generally minimalistic. The piano playing is gentle and beautiful, and accompanied by cold ambient electronics and a soaring yet understated string section. This EP feels like seeing a distant beacon of light, welcoming you in after you've spent far too long, lost and alone, away from everything you love.  Another great release by Moderna Records.

Oh yeah, I absolutely adore the EP artwork too. It perfectly complements the music. It's a painting called 'Half Light' by Eva Ullrich. Splendid.
