Danish composer and pianist Frederik Tor Snæland creates piano pieces as his way to reflect over the daily life, where inspiration often comes from episodes that can be difficult to put into words. Frederik has found peace at the piano, to let sadness and frustration be channeled into beautiful compositions.
Fans who like Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds would enjoy Frederik Snælands compositions.
“Frederik Snælands piano compositions are enclosed by a floating and stoic minimalism. For the past two years, the Aarhus-based composer and producer has worked on his solo project, which is based on simple and minimalist piano compositions.
He writes quiet and fragile tunes, exploring how he can make it simpler and smaller to reach something deeper and bigger. He himself says that he investigates what happens when you do less and when you give room to space and emptiness.” - Fine spind
“The opening moments of Frederik Snæland’s track, “Homage To The Faltered” are filled to the brim with warmth and beauty.
It’s a deeply moving neo-classical piece that is spaced out in such an intriguing way that it will capture your attention within the first seconds of it playing.” Rural Sounds
