Viken, Myhre, Stroenen

Djupet


"Djupet" began as a commissioned work co-composed by Jo Berger Myhre and Erlend Viken for the Ultima Festival and Riksscenen in 2020. Together, with dancers Ida Wigdel, Ådne Kolbjørnhus and Katja Schia, they explored the common ecstatic potential of, and the links between, folk, improvisational and electronic dance music. Thomas Pohlitz Strønen was producer, and when they recorded the music the week after the premiere, the duo became a trio.

Diaspora Africanus

Charles Mena

Diaspora Africanus

Charles Mena - Diaspora Africanus er en kollektiv improvisert musikkopplevelse hvor du får en rikholdig musikalsk meny med ulike sjangre. Den presenterer en eklektisk blanding av talte ord med jazz, blues, rap, reggae og mer ... en musikalsk opplevelse som skaper sin egen hybrid lyd.
 

Musikere som er med på platen er av de beste musikere som representerer kvaliteten av mangfoldet i Norge! Bugge Wesseltoft, Lasse Weeden, Gisle Johansen, Sankun Jorbateh, Luison  Capote, Brynyulf Blix, Kristian Wentzel, Gisle Johansen, Sidiki Camara, Taro Vestøl, Andre Viervoll, Bafana Nhlapo, Ibou Cissokho, Per (Skranglebein) og Charles Mena.. 

Musikken er et konsept – og som tittelen Diaspora Africanus antyder, er kjernen i musikken basert på opprinnelige afrikanske rytmer i møte med musikalske sjangre og uttrykk fra hele verden. Energiske konserter setter både musikerne og publikum i en transe lignende tilstand. 
Når bandet møter publikum, gir det ofte utslag i stor stemning og mye dans.

Bonfire - Jovan Pavlovic Trio feat. Ahmad Al Khatib

Throughout time we have gathered around warm fire places. Gazed into the swirling dance of flames, listened to the crackling sparks in the wind, inhaled the scent of burning wood. Energy transfer. A sensual experience, across time and place. A star team of musicians from the Balkans, Palestine and Norway has carried wood to the fire place. The album “Bonfire” simmers with music from multiple geographical origins as well as jazz and classical impulses. Groovy and virtuoso - longing and lyrical. The sound is upfront and acoustic - close to the physical energy of the music. Oriental strings, pumping accordion, and pulsating rhythms. Shoulder by shoulder around the fire place, forgotten memories and new experiences arise. 

"Bonfire" is the Jovan Pavlovic Trio’s second album. This time, the Palestinian Ahmad Al Khatib also joins the team. All four musicians are well known on the international world music scene, and collaborate across continents. When a small virus causes the world to close its borders, "Bonfire" offers music that opens them.

Øyonn Groven Myhren with SISU Orchestra - New Album on OKWorld!ding

Runarslaget - The Runic Stroke - is a musical adventure based on a Norwegian medieval ballad about the power of music - a Norwegian and distinctive offshoot of the Greek myth of "Orpheus and Eurydice". 
With the support of SISU, Øyonn has deepened and developed the old ballad material into a dramatic whole of rich contrasts with an exciting selection of percussion and string instruments. The forerunner of Runarslaget is the meditative work Runartromma from 2009, which Øyonn created for the Telemark Festival's 20th anniversary, also with the SISU percussion ensemble.
