In both Norway and Ireland, connection to the elemental is a strong part of our heritage. This is the inspiration for this pastoral melody, where the polarity between irish violin and Nordic keyharp, played by Asa Jinder, represents the differing landscapes that embrace us; making us one with them; giving us our sense of place and belonging. Co-arranger Kjetil Bjerkestrand used an old pedal Harmonium which, with all of its squeaks and noises, reminds us of the natural and organic sounds, from the places where we most belong.
