GUDNADOTTIR, HILDUR - Saman

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Touch TO:96 Release Year: 2014 Note: on the fourth album for Touch HILDUR GUDNADOTTIR reveals new ethereal qualities combining her beautiful cello-drones & overtones with elfin-like singing... more reduced, calm & pure as before... "Her cello drones are deep, low and emotionally penetrating, not to mention highly suspenseful, all setting your mind in a richly enticing chamber-like embrace" [Norman Rec.] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €15.00 Warning: Currently we do not have this album in stock! More Info "This album is about resonance: on 'Saman', which means 'Together', Hildur melts her voice with her cello, connecting the two instruments together. The result is a highly involving and moving album, recorded, mixed and mastered in Berlin. Hildur's sylph-like vocals contrast beautifully with rich cello tones, resolving the tension between light and dark to produce a unique listening experience. Renowned bassist Skúli Sverrisson guests on 'Heima'. This is Hildur's 4th album for Touch, after 'Without Sinking', 'Mount A' and Leyfdu Ljósinu'. All tracks composed, performed and recorded by Hildur Gudnadóttir in Berlin, except Heyr Himnasmiour (track 4), composed by orkell Sigurbjörnsson, lyrics by Kolbeinn Tumason. Track 6, bass by Skúli Sverrisson. Tracks 1, 4 and 6 recorded by Francesco Donadello. All tracks mixed by Francesco Donadello and Hildur Gudnadóttir at Vox-Ton Studio, Berlin."
