Hem marks the debut solo album from renowned Norwegian pianist and composer Øystein Skar. Best known for his contributions to the award-winning band Highasakite, Skar reveals a new facet of his artistic expression with this deeply personal release. Combining his classical piano foundation and jazz studies under ECM pianist Misha Alperin, Skar has developed a distinctive musical landscape. His compositions merge the lyrical beauty of piano with the dynamic energy of electronic music, resulting in a fusion that is both innovative and compelling.
Hem was recorded during the cold winter months of 2023 in the peaceful solitude of Skar’s home in a densely wooded area outside Oslo. “Hem” in his local dialect means “home,” and throughout this album, a feeling of returning to something familiar—whether that be self, person, origin, or idea—is tenderly sewn into the fabric of this work. Home, for Skar, is represented and thought of in many ways throughout this collection, which explores feelings of gratitude, self-discovery, isolation, ways we hide in plain sight, connection, and resolution, in addition to remembering the people who impacted his life in profound ways.
'Hem' moves from delicate, intimate piano pieces—recorded on Skar’s old Steinway upright piano—to bold, electronic-driven works where analog synthesizers and mellotrons create a raw, rhythmic, and monumental sound that is totally original. Both a homecoming and a new beginning, Hem is a stunning debut that will resonate with fans of instrumental and pop music from beginning to end.
