about

"The Newborn Child" is a journey back to "the creation" with dystopian backdrop. Furthermore, the painting "Early Morning" from Odd Nerdrum appeals to an orchestral and classical direction.
The Öræfajökull Glacier tracks are directly inspired by "RAX" Ragnar Axelsson pictures with the same name from 2020.

Performed by Sverre Knut Johansen mostly with use of the Sequential PROPHET X Hybrid Synthesizer (Samples-Plus-Synthesis) With 8DIO`s deep samples.

In addition, live Cello and live voice and some soft-synths.

The music is produced in 2021 at the @MusicSpaceCenter except the "Öræfajökull Glacier" tracks that was produced in 2020. The Glacier music is composed in real time with no editing.

Cello played by Henrik Silfverhielm and voice by Ann-Margrit Siegrist Silfverhielm on; "The Newborn Child", "Filius Dei" and "Öræfajökull Glacier".

The album cover "Early Morning" is created by the controversial Norwegian figurative painter Odd Nerdrum.

This is an outstanding collaboration, so far one of my favorite releases this year! BTW, be sure to check out Frank Beissel's own Bandcamp page, and his album Random Abstractions - so far, it's one of the best kept secrets of the year. mysticwolf75
