  • Description

    The Norwegian Grammy Award Winners Marja Mortensson and Daniel Herskedal are releasing their first duo album together, aptly named 'Lååje - Dawn'.

    Mortensson's and Herskedal's music transcends borders. As such, their music moves effortlessly through the borderlands between South and Ume Saami yoik melodies, where it finds itself swinging back and forth between tradition and the musical compositions of classical string quartets. The melodies imitate
    standing stones, carefully rooted menhirs, who guide the listener from the gravity and melancholy of a planet finally speaking up against our treatment of her, to the playful yoik melodies associated with woodpeckers and ptarmigans.

    Seven of the album's ten tracks feature the Trondheim Soloists' String Quartet, and their virtuosic musical engagement with the circular schematics of the traditional yoiks. Herskedal has established himself as a musician and composer on stages throughout Europe, having written commission pieces for the BBC Concert Orchestra and the Moscow Patriarchate's Male Choir, among others.

    "Her singing is so mesmerising, it ought to inspire listeners from every corner of the world to fall down upon their knees in awe...it is so beautiful, so different." - Audun Vinger, Dagens Næringsliv

    "The Norwegian tuba player Daniel Herskedal is nothing short of a miracle, thanks to his perfect mastery of the instrument." - Jazzenzo
