Recorded up close in a single day on the old piano in Studio Apparatus – except for Specks that was recorded on AMIMEA’s old Mannborg ship piano – A Million Tiny Lenses embodies that idea that huge beauty can be found in the smallest things.

The debut album For Granted was something AMIMEA coincidentally stumbled upon. But after For Granted, she found herself returning to the piano in between her other musical projects looking for simplicity and comfort. Being an autodidact pianist, she had always viewed the piano as being her composition instrument, before and during her Songwriting Bachelor and Composition and Technology Master degrees. In her work as a songwriter and vocalist, the piano had never stood on its own; therefore she never considered herself a ‘true’ solo pianist, which made her approach her own compositions with both curiosity and scepticism. Even the moniker of this project was diverted from the question if being a pianist was something she could allow herself: ‘am I me?’ Finding that this question only arose before or after composing, but never during, she ended up writing her second album A Million Tiny Lenses, which was also recorded in one day with the charm of capturing the moment in mind.

It is an ode to beauty in simplicity, to comfort in times of doubt and to allowing yourself to feel instead of think. With A Million Tiny Lenses, AMIMEA explores how there are many many ways to look at the world and yourself.
