MalmöCarl Liungman
Nature seems to birth a profound foundation for music. Carl Liungman was born in Malmö, Sweden, and grew up frequenting the countryside as well. From the temporality of what water touches to the solace of the winters. Growing up, music was the humming pulse in his household, from Beatles to Mozart. Tapes of music kept his years perked up for the unique amalgam of sounds. Finally, after taking up the piano as his primary instrument, he started making his own music and eventually performed at school and talent shows in Sweden.
Moulding his own piano playing, he found inspiration in the works of Swedish Jazz pianists Jan Johansson and Esbjörn Svensson. Jazz piano soon enamoured him, and the elements of classical piano playing. From Glenn Gould’s Bach performances to the Russian composer Scriabin’s sonatas- a new world opened up for him. If this was one world he had his mind wrapped up in, he kept in touch with mainstream mastodons like Coldplay as well.
Seeing music as a conversation of minds, expression comes naturally now to Carl Liungman. In addition to having the ability to transcend barriers, his instrumental playing depicts love, loss and the directions life tends to take. He started putting out music with his 2018 single, Brothers. In the incubation period of the pandemic-he crafted and put out two albums, Born in 2020 and Shine in 2022. Things we yearned for in isolation. With Affection & Absence, themes are depicted that all in the world connect with. To conclude, “With our hearts put together, may we feel.”
