Watch a slow moving video for the new Deaf Center single "A Second", which is an outtake from the upcoming new album "Through Time", coming this spring on Sonic Pieces. Originally conceived as the album’s final track, it ultimately proved to be stronger as a standalone piece.

Today, November 7th 2025, @deaf_center ´s debut album Pale Ravine turns 20 years exactly to the date! To celebrate we have the surprise release for you which is out now through Bandcamp : DEAF CENTER - LUCY´S DREAM EP ... /album/lucy-s-dream
...
Our friend Mike Lazarev Headphone Commute wrote some words. The full text can be read on the release page.
"It's been exactly 20 years since its release today, November 7th 2025, as Erik and Otto exhume this particular space and time from their archives. While going through the source material appearing on Pale Ravine, they found samples and field recordings that had never been used on the original album. Hydrating pieces with a ghostly echo of Pale Ravine, this two-piece EP, titled after the mystical Lucy, is more than a follow-up to its predecessor from another era. It's a key to a door that opens up the magic that lies just beyond our reach. If only we are brave enough to step right in, if only time were truly separating moments, if only music had the power to transport... of course it does... of course it will... So let us lose ourselves before we can be found.
Maintaining one side in the past and one in the present, with samples originating in one era and production values of another, Lucy's Dream is a reverie that deserves your full attention for truly active listening when you're present, and semi-conscious drift between those moments, when memories arise and jerk you wide awake. It's like a soporific potion that you drink to bridge the decades. It's like an elegy for moments yet to come, when in another decade we'll look back, and read these words, and listen to this music, and then recall that certain texture of this time. "Ah," I will think, "those were the days... those were the treasured moments."

An Otto Totland homecoming ♥️
So emotional. So elegant. So full of ebbs and flows. So communicative.
Family and friends cheering. Proud. Moved. This was huge.
Thanks Otto. For sharing your gift with us. ♥️

I had the great pleasure of interviewing Norwegian pianist and composer, Otto Totland. He kindly shared some exclusive unreleased tracks as well. I’ve been a fan since his work with Deaf Center began in the early 2000s and his solo piano work has connected with me deeply and is an immense source of inspiration.
“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.”
