Info: 

Sandra Kolstad is best known for her electronic music. On her seventh album, SOFT HARD, she makes an artistic U-turn and returns to her original main instrument: the piano.


SOFT HARD is a translation of the Italian word for the piano instrument, pianoforte. On the record, Kolstad attempts to reconcile with - and free herself from - her musical childhood.


Musically, SOFT HARD is an attempt at a kind of sonic exploded view, where Kolstad explores the piano's possibilities in tone and temperament, and in combination with electronics.


Textually, SOFT HARD is an exploration of human extremes: to be soft and hard at the same time, body and spirit. To be a human being in a neoliberal reality. A longing to rid oneself of old layers, a kind of expulsion of spiritual sediment.


SOFT HARD is produced by Sandra Kolstad, in collaboration with Yngve Sætre, Hanne Hukkelberg, the Danish pop artist Asbjørn Terkelsen, and Erlend Mokkelbost.
