With
Companion
,
Otto A. Totland
completes his album trilogy of personal, sparse piano compositions, following in the footsteps of 2014's
Pinô
(SONIC 019CD/LP) and 2017's
The Lost
(SONIC 026CD/LP). As a self-taught pianist, Otto further determines himself as a timeless composer who follows nothing but his own gut and heart. The outcome is something so pure it's hard to not be affected. The development of his pieces over the years has grown into something so himself that it's almost immediately recognizable. With
Companion
he has matured in his own craft, and the various pieces here feel confident and absolutely beautiful in a way that sees the end of the trilogy as a warm, empathic document for the times. As with the previous two albums,
Companion
was again recorded at
Nils Frahm
's Berlin studio for optimal warmth and space,
Pinô
and
The Lost
at his previous Durton Studio while Companion at the historic Studio 3 at Funkhaus. All three records are released by Sonic Pieces in hand-crafted limited edition covers as a statement showing that craftmanship and humanity still exists in this world constantly moving towards the exact opposite. This quote by Norwegian philosopher
Guttorm Fløistad
seems an appropriate connection to both Otto's music and the way we are all heading: "The only thing for certain is that everything changes. The rate of change increases. If you want to hang on you better speed up. That is the message of today [...] In order to master changes, we have to recover slowness, reflection and togetherness. There we will find real renewal." With this in mind,
Companion
is exactly what it's title sets out to be. A friend that can follow and comfort in both good or bad time. Full tone artwork; includes printed inner sleeve; includes download code.
