Tell us about your creative process please.

When I write music as Olovson it usually starts with me improvising on the piano and finding interesting worlds and sonic universes. What was extra exciting for "Feels Like Microgravity" was that that was the first song I used a choir on which I later implemented on almost every song on the album. It was very exciting and unreal to record the choir.

What does wellbeing mean for you?

Wellbeing to me means harmony, and harmony comes from being in balance, which takes effort and thought. But overall, having time for contemplation and thinking, and feeling, the present moment.

Thanks for joining us today, is there anything else you’d like to share?

Keep your eyes and ears open for the full-length album coming August 25. :)
