Okland Nils - Straum

Facts Nils 0kland is one of Norwa ading Hardanger fiddle players, a renewer of traditional folk music who is also known to build bridges to classical and contemporary music. In contrast to many fiddlers 0kland writes most of the music himself, ranging from beautiful, melodic ballad morphemic experiments and darker soundscapes. This is his second solo album, the follow up to "Bla Harding", an album received fantastic reviews when it was released in 1996. If this is holy music, it is for a space church, at once ethereal and substantial. The Wire, UK. 2006.
