Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Norwegian trumpeter creates breathtaking, highly cinematic soundscapes that frequently obscure the origins of his chosen instrument. Merging ethereal, breathy trumpet improvisations with delicate field recordings and electronic treatments, the recording evokes the stark, awe-inspiring vistas of the Scandinavian fjords.
