Still is M. Ostermeier's first album in four years. The album features his poignant and at times avant-garde piano style mixed with the spare use of electronics and processed acoustic recordings. Empty space and minimalism figure heavily in Still's compositions, making for a stark and reflective album.

Reviews:
A brilliantly composed album. A magnificent contemplation that both expands and remains consistent with his prior work.
— Tome to the Weather Machine
Streamlined, modern, and organic. Think Frank Lloyd Wright or Frank Gehry set to music. It is subtly bold, but equally unobtrusive with a real sense of stillness (apt given the title). The balance that is struck should appeal equally to fans of both electroacoustic ambient and modern classical music.
— Stationary Travels
As gorgeous as you'd expect, ye fans of John Cage and Max Richter.
— Norman Records
How still do you like your stillness to be? — A Closer Listen
