"After doing three solo albums, the challenge of interpreting Eric Satie's music seemed challenging, appealing and also like a good way of finding new angles and flavours in my own music.<br/>What struck me while digging deeper in his catalogue was how modern and progressive he still appears, beside the soothing and calming mellowness that I think we all associate his music with, I found very brave, sometimes stubborn minimalism and besides the blue harmonies that we now associate with jazz, I found really salty, almost cluster-like colours that must have been extremely challenging for the end of 19th century ears.<br/>I humbly thank Satie for letting me borrow his music for a while (he didn't have a say though), giving me both the meditative peace I hope you will also experience while listening and, like in the Nocturne, challenging my ears and fingers to reach new territories.<br/>" - Martin Hederos<br/><br/>Artists: <br/>Martin Hederos: grand piano, celesta, felt piano, violin, Philocorda organ, Juno 60 synthesiser<br/>Dan Berglund: Double bass on tracks 1+8<br/>Konrad Agnas: Drums on track 10<br/>Anton Sundell: samples and programing on tracks 6, 9
