Helge Lien & Knut Hem - Villingsberg [LP]

Cat. no: OZ1100LP
Format: LP
Barcode: 4038952011009
Release Date: 11 Nov 202
Genre: Jazz

Using just piano and a Weissenborn guitar, Helge Lien and Knut Hem sculpt a timeless sound that conjures up images of endless planes, feelings of freedom and nostalgia

They make use of the harmonic vocabulary of jazz, and the feeling of Country and Bluegrass while occasionally hinting at ambient and flm music. Journalists have come up with clever genre names such as "Nordicana" to try and capture this direction. But although Hem and Lien share infuences with these acts, their style feels like a distinct own branch within this fascinating scene.

At its very core, 'Villingsberg' is music for inner wandering, a cosmos of solitude, in which the silence behind the notes is as important as the actual sounds made.
