Eydis Evenson – Oceanic Mirror
Today, Icelandic pianist and post-classical composer Eydís Evensen announces her third studio album Oceanic Mirror to be released October 10th on XXIM Records.
Holding the promise of what lies in store, she unveils “Helena’s Sunrise” – the first of its thirteen pieces which reflect the human experience through sonic translations of the ocean’s secrets.
Alongside the album announcement, she also announces a series of international tour dates, inviting audiences to experience the music live. You can find tickets here.
Turbulent and beyond prediction; serene and spiritually transformative – Oceanic Mirror captures the ocean in all its power, movement and contradictions to speak to truths which transcend language. Listening to this album reawakens you what you knew all along; the things that the pace of our lives can lead us to forget. Loss, reincarnation, the cycles of life and nature: Evensen’s compositions share elemental lessons which we can bring on our own voyages across troubled waters.
“Helena‘s Sunrise” is the dawning of hope – a reminder of how the ocean’s expansive beauty can set our minds at ease. Married to swelling strings and the swoon of woodwinds which mirror the flutter of our hearts, Evensen’s music is the soundtrack to our own stories. The video is a summer’s day in technicolour: Evensen is living in an idyll where the ocean has never been more brilliant.
Another powerful aspect of Oceanic Mirror is the inclusion of compelling artistic collaborators, whose contributions expand Evensen’s sound world in unexpected and resonant ways.
