Muller \u0026amp; Otto A. Totland’s Unna, an invigorating synthesis of dark, ambient atmospheres and intimate, minimal piano. The album marks the inaugural release for Ojas Music, a new imprint from Ojas, the NY-based audio, hi-fi, and design company known for its devotion to analogue sound and deep listening. The project is partnered with The Vinyl Factory for a worldwide, deluxe run of the vinyl pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Unna, Muller draws on over two decades of work spanning his role as co-founder of Balmorhea, solo recordings, and film scoring—approached through the sensibility of an intentional listener, audiophile, and hi-fi enthusiast. Muller’s early solo catalog was released on Deutsche Grammophon, and his collaborations include Hania Rani, Alva Noto, Víkingur Ólafsson, The Album Leaf, and Douglas McCombs of Tortoise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTotland is one half of the Norwegian experimental\/ambient duo Deaf Center, whose seminal releases on Type Records and Sonic Pieces helped shape a generation of minimalist and ambient music. His solo piano trilogy, produced by Nils Frahm, received wide acclaim. Unna is Totland’s first solo output since Exin, released on Leiter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnna (Norwegian for “away”) operates as a double entendre: gesturing both to the physical distance between the two artists and to the inward pull of the creative flow state, where time recedes and attention deepens. The music pairs Totland’s close-miked, delicate piano with Muller’s contributions on double bass, glockenspiel, Mellotron, and Rhodes as a textural counterpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA premiere of Unna will be presented in a listening event via 1\/4” 2-track tape and deluxe vinyl on March 19, 2026, at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced, recorded, \u0026amp; mixed by Michael A.
