Synopsis

Product Description
Lena Willemark: voice, fiddle, viola
Karin Nakagawa: 25-string koto
Anders Jormin: double bass

Anders Jormins new Swedish-Japanese project returns the highly distinctive voice and fiddle of Lena Willemark to ECM (her first appearance on the label in more than a decade), and introduces koto player Karin Nakagawa. In their collaborative music the Japanese classical tradition and the stark, archaic sounds of the koto, allied to Jormins muscular bass improvisations, form a unique context for Lena s sung poems, delivered in her native Älvdals-dialect. Traditions and non-idiomatic improvising are cross-referenced, and new paths are opened up.
