The theme: The red line: Climate change, loss of nature, ecoside, antrophocene: «Deep fear. Deep
tranquility» is the title of his poetry collection (2022) which he reads from on the albums. Together
with is great band he´s presenting a combine world-, prog- and experimental jazz kind of music,
taking the listener straight to the new landscapes of Norway: stone deserts, cabin-hotels and
industry, versus cut down of old forests, destroyed landscapes for useless windmills, polluted fjords
for salmon-growth and a goverment that opens up for more fossil growth. Among others. Norway
became extremely rich very fast, and money do trig different and often simple behavior in our
human brains. Why do we never stop wanting more? Music can give us hope and a feeeling of
beeing together.. This album is both deeply poetic and dreamy, but also expresses dark fear and a
melancholy every human beeing might feel now and then for the state of our planet we all share,
and should stand together taking care of. Karl Seglem, Oslo 2024.
