Album "Phantom" by Tomas Johan Kristian is out on September 27th. 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.

Take a morning walk alongside the river in a quiet Japanese town, absorbing the early sunlight coming through the trees on the riverside.
Inspired by the Indian Summer Soul in the amazing image of Photographer Sofie Vosk, Suntapes recorded a gloomy soundtrack for the imaginary story behind it. The album catches summertime melancholy in 8 neoclassical piano pieces with gloomy arrangements. All tracks are recorded on a 1881 Bechstein Grand piano with close miking techniques, including it’s wooden creaking sounds and felt sounds.
Four tranquil compositional ambient pieces created around inspirational field recordings and the warm sound and lush resonance of the Bechstein grand piano.
Sonic Landscapes are dark and slow evolving ambient drone tracks. All of the compositions are recorded in one take with several analogue synthesizers and piano manipulation. The album has a psychedelic, meditative, minimal and filmic feel to it.
9 compositional ambient tracks: meditative melodies, stunning resonances, filmic harmonies & sound effects.
MYSTERIOUS MINIMAL NEOCLASSIC AMBIENT: not exactly a catchy name for a new music genre, but it’s a fitting description of this Suntapes album.
The atmospheric album "Hunting for hills" is the culmination of fifteen years of musical experiments and long, inspiring trips in Asia. The instrumental and filmic tracks all evolve around the use of unusual instruments such as the Chinese Guzheng, Chinese Ruan, Thai Pin, Indian harmonium, Moroccan Gnawa bass and a quirky slide guitar found in Vietnam. Added with a sauce of electronics, piano and field recordings.
