Revered Swedish pianist Henrik Lindstrand presents ‘Reimagined’ – a collection of compositional reworks by some of the best contemporary artists working today. It features the likes of Anne Müller, Manu Delago, Tom Adams, Christina Vantzou, Alex Somers, Benoît Pioulard and more. Gaining notoriety for his semi-autobiographical stories told using sounds solely from the piano, the work from Henrik’s solo ventures is ripe for reinterpretation.
Lindstrand’s career is littered with accolades that make up an impressive and eclectic resume. A keen musician from a young age, he graduated from the Rhythmic Conservatory in Copenhagen where he became engrossed in the local musical culture and lent his skills to a multitude of acts as a studio musician, live player and string arranger. This lead to him being “adopted” into Danish rock band Kashmir, one of Scandinavia‘s most prominent and acclaimed bands with whom he toured the world extensively as their keyboard player and guitarist.
During his tenure in Kashmir and until the band’s hiatus, Henrik worked with seminal profiles such as Tony Visconti, Andy Wallace, David Bowie, and Lou Reed, whilst building a career alongside as a highly regarded composer for television and cinema. Recent accomplishments include the score for the ITV Nordic-noir series Greyzone, the soundtrack for the hugely successful and award-winning LEGO game, Builder´s Journey, and a film score to Undtagelsen (The Exception).
I love to sketch and paint to this album and also I listen to it whilst walking. It just lifts any baggage and leaves me totally inspired and refreshed. O I End is the most profound and enlightening piece of music I've ever heard! stephenfrederickart
A visceral LP centered on the subject of death; deft layers of instrumentation that blurs the line between organic and electronic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 5, 2018
This feels like new territory for Nils, and I really like it. His previous electronically oriented works have tended more toward techno, but this is branching into the downtempo/IDM realm reminiscent of other of my favorite artists like Ocoeur and Deru. Extremely well done. More of this is very welcome! Nalij
