There was a band very early on in our class, and I played in that band and as a teenager, I continued. It was more from my own relationship with the instruments at this time, figuring out the instrument and then having to learn different pieces that I really got into music. I really discovered the almost transcending power of music. And I think that is why I am so into it.
Agnes ObelI learned that music should be fun and should be a way to express yourself, that there aren't really any rules.
Agnes ObelThe piano and the singing are two equal things to me - maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices.
Agnes ObelEven though music is something I travel around doing, it is also a very private thing. A sort of escapism.
Agnes ObelOn the last album, I didn't want to disturb the melody with too many stories. This time, I wanted to know if I was able to create images with words, with the sound of words.(...) I think thatโs a good thing when the one who is listening, is feeling it in a different way that the one who creates. We are all listening with different perspectives.(...) I donโt want to impose my subjectivity to the listener.
