Dirk Maassen - Fjara (Official Video)

The pianist, composer and Internet phenomenon Dirk Maassen presents his new music video for ’Fjara’, a beautiful duet with Norwegian violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing that will transport you to the seaside. ► Listen to his album ’Ocean’ here: For his Sony Classical debut album ’Ocean’, Maassen lets the expanse of the sea inspire him to compose piano meditations about the origins of life and where life takes us. “I pour everything that occupies me, moves me, and impresses me into music. It might be natural events or interpersonal things. When I sit down to the piano I enter into a dialogue with myself,” he explains. A feeling like at the ocean shore: “You calm down, centre in on yourself and can put all the everyday distractions behind you. The knowledge that we humans came from the ocean gives me a strong sense of connection, a similar feeling to attending church earlier.”
