about

"Lys i Jordens Skygge" is an album full of dark, melodic songs for solo piano, all composed and performed by Julian Svejgaard.

The title means "Lights in the shadow of the Earth", and is inspired by the light left in the darkness of the night, when the Sun crawls behind the globe far below our feet.

Night is just the shadow of Earth, but there is still light twinkling in the darkness; stars, lightning and electric light.

The music from Julian Svejgaard is a mix of several different worlds. His music is like a mix of Jan Johansson, Debussy and Nils Frahm with strong ties to traditional Swedish and Danish music. It is new Nordic folk music for the piano, with threads to such diverse genres as neoclassical, ragtime, jazz and impressionism.

The translated titles of the songs on the album are:

1: Nightshift (Prologue)
2: Stars in Pairs
3: Silent Lightning
4: Mother Dream
5: Lamp Waltz to my Father
6: Dark Lightning
7: Neon Clouds (in hte midst of Earth's Shadow)
8: Lie Down in the Light With Me
9: Violets on the Seabed
10: Improvisation for the ones left behind
11: The last sunrise
12: The shadow (epilogue)
