Erlend Apneseth Trio
One of Norway's most innovative and active genre-free
bands these days, and are combining the sound of Norwegian Folk Music, jazz and
electronica in a very unique way.
They have received several prizes and nominations for their three releases on the
acclaimed label Hubro, the latest being the Norwegian Grammy for their most recent
album Salika, Molika. Extensive touring in Norway and Europe for the last five years
have excited both new and recurring audiences wherever they go.

The trio consists of Erlend Apneseth (Hardanger fiddle), Stephan Meidell (guitar/live-
sampling) and Øyvind Hegg-Lunde (drums/percussion). They are all critically acclaimed

artists and composers in their respective fields, and their improvisational approach
make every event unique.

Slowburn
The Danish quartet Slowburn is releasing their fourth album
Folketro on 14th february 2020.
Apart From the bands Four regular members, The music features
a wide array of prominent guest-musicians on violin, accordeon
percussion and more.
The record presents a highly concentrated, dynamic and
thoroughly orchestrated sound with ties to nordic folklore, no
wave, polyrhytmic rock and contemporary classical music.
Composer and bandleader Lars Bech Pilgaard has drawn
inspiration from his rural heritage, for the material for Folketro. It
reflects his relation to the region, the folklore and mindset of the
particular area in the western outskirts of Denmark thus naming
the album Folketro (folklore/heathen faith).
Its an exploration of the connection between Pilgaards own
identity, and the recollection of his homeland and heritage as a
mythological space, where fantasy and memories melt together,
forming a new room.
In a sonic ritualisation the pieces each process different themes
with links to the composer and his memories; The traditional
hymn chanting for a deceased, the connection between nature
and human and the raw engrossing power of the North Sea
creates a dense pulsating, yet atmospheric, universe. These
elements all contribute forging the ties to the heathen beliefs:
Folketroen.
