Matti Bye - The Sea [CD]

"I recorded the entire album during the summer of 2024 in a barn on Fårö, using a 1920 Steinway grand piano and a Juno-60 synthesiser through a Nagra tape recorder.“ Matti Bye is one of Sweden’s most acclaimed and distinctive composers for film, theater, and sound art. With a background in silent film accompaniment, he has developed a unique musical language where the piano often meets tape loops, analog synths, and field recordings. His music blends neoclassical sensitivity with ambient textures, and has been heard in award-winning films such as Tove, Never Alone, and Young Royals. He has released numerous albums, including Capri Clouds (2024) and Between Darkness & White Snow (2023), and collaborates regularly with artists like Lau Nau, Linda Fredriksson, Anna von Hausswolff, and Roland Pönti- nen. Bye has received two Guldbagge Awards for Best Original Score and the HARPA Nordic Film Composer Award. His music has been performed at venues such as MOMA in New York, the Venice Biennale, Cinema Ritrovato, and the Thai Film Archive. 1. 1 2 : 3 0 P M 2. 0 5 : 3 0 A M 3. 1 5 : 4 5 P M 4. 2 0 : 1 0 P M
