Grain of Sand | Песчинка
from the album "Lanzarote"

“Grain of Sand” is dedicated to the memory of Jóhann Jóhannsson. hubromusic.com




"The key to what might be called the emotional address of the new album as compared to its predecessor can be partlally found in the story behind its composition, for ‘Lanzarote’ is a project freighted with meaning whose references extend far beyond the formal properties of the music itself. Perhaps the most significant element is the shock reaction to the unexpected death of the Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, with whom Ólafsson had frequently worked, and to whom the opening piece, ‘Grain of Sand’, is posthumously dedicated. An unapologetically beautiful, heart-tugging theme which acts as a kind of requiem or threnody for the late composer." hubromusic.com
