His award-winning albums \u003cem\u003eBoy\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDragør\u003c\/em\u003e earned international praise for their emotional honesty and cinematic depth, establishing a sound world where fragility, melancholy, and quiet beauty intertwine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis fourth album ‘\u003cem\u003eStille\u003c\/em\u003e’ is set for release on January 30th, 2026 via \u003cstrong\u003eApril Records\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eA deeply personal meditation on the search for calm, connection, and meaning in a world that often feels overwhelming, the album continues his exploration of sound as refuge, a place to pause, reflect, and breathe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoined by long-term collaborators \u003cstrong\u003eMarc Méan\u003c\/strong\u003e (piano), \u003cstrong\u003eAndreas Bernitt\u003c\/strong\u003e (violin), \u003cstrong\u003eCecilie Strange\u003c\/strong\u003e (saxophone), and \u003cstrong\u003eMaj Berit Guassora\u003c\/strong\u003e (trumpet), Thorn reunites with producer Mette Damm and engineer \u003cstrong\u003eAugust Wanngren\u003c\/strong\u003e to craft an atmosphere both intimate and expansive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere 2023’s \u003cem\u003eDragør\u003c\/em\u003e confronted the ghosts of Thorn’s past, \u003cem\u003eSTILLE\u003c\/em\u003e (meaning “quiet” or “silent” in Danish) looks outward - and inward - toward reflection. “For me, music has always been a refuge,” Thorn writes. “It’s a place where I can reflect and immerse myself — both as a listener and, maybe even more, as a composer.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach composition functions as a kind of musical still image: fragments of emotion captured in time, responding to both the chaos and fragile beauty of the modern world. From the flickering calm of \u003cem\u003eFragmentarium\u003c\/em\u003e, to the urgent, primal fear of Run (written as wildfires swept through California) to the tender domestic peace of Stilleben, these pieces balance melancholy and hope in equal measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThorn’s writing continues to thrive on collaboration and trust. Such is Fate emerged from a discarded melodic fragment, reimagined through the expressive playing of Bernitt on violin. Recover and Rebuild form a quiet hymn to resilience, with Guassora and Strange lending understated, breath-like power to the ensemble. The closing track, Shimmering (for MM), is dedicated to pianist Marc Méan, a constant presence in Thorn’s projects since 2014 and, as Thorn puts it, “the touch and sound I hear in my head when I compose.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I wanted to create a space that feels like silence, peace and quiet in a noisy world that often moves faster than it feels possible to keep up with.” says Thorn. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Fragmentarium \u003cbr\u003e2. Run \u003cbr\u003e3. Such is Fate\u003cbr\u003e4. Stilleben \u003cbr\u003e5. Concession\u003cbr\u003e6. Recover\u003cbr\u003e7. Rebuild\u003cbr\u003e8. Shimmering (for MM)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine-up:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJesper Thorn: double bass, electronics\u003cbr\u003eMarc Méan: piano, electronics\u003cbr\u003eMaj Berit Guassora: trumpet \u0026amp; flugelhorn\u003cbr\u003eCecilie Strange: tenor saxophone\u003cbr\u003eAndreas Bernitt: violin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"APRIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57080514412889,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Jesper_Thorn_-_Stille_-_CD_-_2026.jpg?v=1768561102","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/jesper-thorn-stille-cd","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
