David Elfström Lilja

David Elfström Lilja is a Swedish pianist, composer and producer based in Gävle. Constantly Melancholic is his first body of work written for the piano alone: fourteen short pieces, recorded close to the instrument, with nothing added and nothing hidden. The piano project sits quietly beside a wider practice. Under the names Árstraumur and Moist, and through his label I/O Music, he has spent years writing and producing ambient, electronic and cinematic sound. Here he sets all of that aside and returns to a single instrument and a single take.
