Today we announce the debut album by Ruth Maine, entitled Found Keys. Exactly one year ago, Ruth shared a selection of short piano pieces with me, and we began talking about a release. It’s been a wonderful journey since then, and it’s without doubt one of the most special projects I’ve worked on.

Found Keys will be officially out on 24th October. We will release a first single in two weeks, on 12th September. Look out for pre-order around that time 👀

In many ways, Found Keys is a deeply personal record that takes Sonic Pieces back to its roots. And it leaves a feeling of nostalgia while reviving memories of the past.

“We live in a world of information overflow. It gets harder to select quality over fluff. These days, information is served to us through algorithms rather than personal choice. Our unique expression gets distorted and devalued in this information jungle. I want to represent a quiet rebellion against the chaos of our information-saturated world.” - Otto A Totland
