about

Reconciliation is a systemic piano work composed by Olec Mün in order to heal the wounds inherited by war, persecution and segregation. Grandson of four Jewish refugees who escaped the Second World War and emigrated to Argentina, he is the first one in two generations to settle back in this part of the world. Eighty years later, Olec Mün returns to Europe and the Reconciliation project emerges as a necessity of his Soul. The album is the outcome of his past, his memory, his roots which are transformed through composition.

The tracks of Reconciliation carry a personal and universal history and trigger deep, emphatic feelings. A small and delicate universe of solo piano pieces which become a powerful message. Recorded on an upright piano, the music transmits a deep sense of intimacy, of belonging.

Reconciliation is a humble attempt to let go, yet with awareness and depth. This enhances the power of music which is not only able to heal but also to bring positive messages and transformation. In his own words: “In todays’ world, the idea of the Other as a threat is growing every day. And if we decide to zoom in, we will find a potential conflict motivated by a false idea of hate, fear and separation. “Reconciliation” is not only about my personal story. It is a call for hopeand love, for unity and encounter. Reconciliation is an opportunity to heal wounds and thrive into a more evolved and transcendent humanity.”

The album is structured in two parts: “Songs for my Ancestors” and “The Refugee’s Journey”. In the first part, the composer revisits each story behind his four grandparents. Each song is named after each one of them: Richard, Dora, Freddy and Jetty.
“The Refugee’s Journey” is conformed by four movements: Exile, New Beginning, The Calling, Reconciliation. They maintain an intimate and melancholic flair and slowly guide us through the intention of reconciliation and acceptance.
The sense of these movements is condensed in these words taken from Olec’s diaries:
“What does it take to forgive?
What do I need in order to keep going?
First, I look back with gratitude towards my ancestors for bringing me here.
I then search inside for the courage to face the pain.
I look out to accept and integrate the loose pieces, unknown but familiar.
I am standing here, looking at anyone who wants to look back at me.
My heart is out, I am the most vulnerable being in this room, but I choose not to hide it anymore.
I choose to trust, and I trust that you will choose as well, because you are also as vulnerable, you are also as afraid, and you too are willing to do what it takes to free yourself from your own slaveries.”
