"I recorded the entire album during the summer of 2024 in a barn on Fårö, using a 1920 Steinway grand piano and a Juno-60 synthesiser through a Nagra tape recorder.“ Matti Bye is one of Sweden’s most acclaimed and distinctive composers for film, theatre, and sound art. With a background in silent film accompaniment, he has developed a unique musical language where the piano often meets tape loops, analogue synths, and field recordings.

His music blends neoclassical sensitivity with ambient textures, and has been heard in award-winning films such as Tove, Never Alone, and Young Royals. He has released numerous albums, including Capri Clouds (2024) and Between Darkness & White Snow (2023), and collaborates regularly with artists like Lau Nau, Linda Fredriksson, Anna von Hausswolff, and Roland Pönti- nen.
