    Superb performance by Olafur and his fellow musicians. Also, a video of the KEXP sound engineers talking about their recording approach would be awesome, the work they're doing is outstanding.

    It's interesting...in a good way, as to how many people need this kind of quiet, yet raw and peaceful honesty from Olafur's music in their lives. There's something very real and honest about what's in this guy's soul, and the magic involved with turning it into a piece of music that can bring people to tears. Fantastic...

    I’m so stupid for not having seen this sooner. I fall asleep to his music, I have for almost a decade. It’s often gets me so worked up I just lay there and sob in the dark.

    Olafurs' music is like a balm for the soul in this time of so much turmoil. His music of 'songs without words' just makes me feel so much better every time I listen!! Wish he would come to New Zealand.

    Olafur and his music are mesmerizing... what he says about concepts as a way of protecting artists themselves (strating at minute 14:45) is such an important truth that trascends music.

    I like the thumping of the piano keys. I can see why you'd usually record a piano so you don't hear that, but it works really well here. This is music that wants to sound natural.

      It’s a beautiful percussive effect. Having the action exposed allows them to mic up the action+strings all together.
