She is one of the new members of the artist-run label and collective ILK in Copenhagen.
« (…) the distinctive characteristics of her improvisations: an absolute concentration on the construction of the performance, with contrasting and theatrical tones, and a desire to explore all the expressive possibilities of the piano with a fresh and unspoiled approach, as if centuries of experience with this most precious instrument were not to be counted. To do this, Oswald is supported by a first-rate technique: the fluidity of her fingering and, at the same time, the dryness of her touch allow her to distinguish each note even in the fastest and most frenetic passages. This does not change the fact that in some instances, the use of the pedal and hands parallel to a specific register manages to create harmonic resonances of insistent complexity and power. The results of a language that would be wrong to attribute solely to the extreme experiences of free music are therefore unexpected and compelling. » Libero Farnè – All about Jazz (2025)
