Björn Gottschall – Downtime (Spotify)
Björn Gottschall said about this song: "I’m a kind of street musician, more precisely, I play a lot outside but mostly in especially beautiful places, like by the sea, mountains, etc. I have a 6-octave acoustic piano which I pack in the back of my car and take everywhere.
This song, “Downtime” is particularly influenced by Philip Glass - I find his style perfect to describe clouds, landscapes, and moods. "Downtime" is a dreamy memory written in Glass's language but expressed with my words."
