Swod is a contemporary music duo known for their evocative melding of minimal piano melodies with electronic elements, creating a haunting and introspective soundscape that resonates with a sense of cinematic storytelling. The duo, comprised of Oliver Doerell and Stephan Wöhrmann, originated in Berlin in the early 2000s and quickly established themselves within the ambient and modern classical music scenes. Their music features a delicate interplay between Wöhrmann's poignant piano work and Doerell's subtle electronic manipulations and field recordings, resulting in a sound that is both deeply emotive and ambiently serene.

With a discography that reflects a consistent evolution of their sound, Swod's later albums like "Drei" (2011), which translates to "Three" in English, represent a maturation in their artistic craft, showcasing an even richer textural depth. "Sekunden" (2007), translating to "Seconds", continues in the vein of their contemplative aesthetic, inviting listeners into a world of reflective minimalism. Their debut album "Gehen" (2004), meaning "Walking", set the foundation for their characteristic blend of neoclassicism and electronic music. Swod stands out in the contemporary music landscape for their ability to capture the subtle narratives of human emotion within their compositions, making each release a resonant and transporting experience. Their work often appeals to those who are drawn to the boundary-crossing realms of artists like Max Richter, Nils Frahm, and the late Jóhann Jóhannsson.
