Most of the nine pieces on this album were created during the pandemic. It is music characterized by stillness. By a forced break. By space and deepening.
Perhaps this quiet made us listen to each other better. We felt that we were less likely to make judgments, that we listened with an open ear, an open attitude.

PRESSQUOTES
ALL ABOUT JAZZ
This is an album of depth and introspection, of silence, lonesomeness and longing, which sparkles with a pure, simple brilliance.
TEXTURA
Repeating patterns lend Open powerful momentum, and eloquent, haunting melodies are abundant....In its dignity, the music implicitly promotes the conviction that our current, still-challenging circumstances might yet be overcome.
HEAVEN MAGAZINE
Douwe Eisenga is one of the best-known Dutch pianists/composers in the genre. With OPEN he proves himself again as one of the better educated pianists, who also gives his compositions more body by filling them in more than just playing appealing tunes. (3 out of 4 stars)
LUISTER
The music echoes stillness and space...somehow the music has something original, a soul of its own. It is a delicious album to dream away with on a Sunday morning with a coffee under a blanket.
MANIA
Expressive sounds, sometimes musing and searching, sometimes exploring and giving hope.
