In his EP “Threads”, Runar Blesvik has gone back to basics. The songs on this release were recorded in one day with just a prepared acoustic piano, some strings and a couple of ideas. The result is an intimate and calming journey through delicate chords and jazzy melodies. A heightened focus on achieving a natural sound gives you an honest and truly detailed representation of the music.

From the jazz and folk inspired opening track “Woods”, to the transparent and peaceful last track “The End”, this EP is defined by a deep sense of space and focus. Immerse yourself in a mixture of minuscule details and various musical ideas.

This time he achieved something amazing: an album sparkles joy and beauty.

The album explores mature musical ideas and themes, where the music seeks out to enthuse and surprise the listener. It’s also an exploration of human vs. electronic elements and the feelings they provoke, juxtaposing the artificial with the natural, and blurring the line on the way.
