Tomas Johan Kristian was born in 1977. He has been submerged in classical music since the day he was born. When he started playing Czerny, Bach & Beethoven on the piano at the age of six, he immediately started inventing his own minimal piano tunes. These days, he releases experimental ambient and neoclassical music as Suntapes.
The time has come for Tomas Johan Kristian to release very personal piano solo compositions under his birth name. Some of these sonates have been composed more than 20 years ago. Constantly he creates new piano pieces and keeps working on them. On September 27th the album “Phantom” is released. Check out the upcoming concerts.
Wavering between melodramatic subtle beauty and energetic minimalism, the solo piano pieces of Tomas Johan Kristian have a soothing feel and warm sound. His quirky approach to classical compositions sprung from his character to avoid the expected and to submerge in his own organic connection with repetitiveness.
