Luminara

‘Luminara' is Ivar's debut solo piano album, blending neo-classical elements with deeper melodic and harmonic development. Inspired by composers like Ludovico Einaudi and Yann Tiersen, he began writing the pieces during the pandemic, a time when live performances were put on hold and the quiet allowed for new musical ideas to emerge. The album was recorded in his own studio, on the white Yamaha piano that his parents bought for him when he was twelve—just as he began his studies at the conservatory. That same piano, with its familiar touch and tone, now lies at the heart of his debut album.
