Info for The Magical Forest

The Magical Forest - Sinikka Langelands New folk music work with Trio Mediaeval and outstanding jazz musicians.

It is inspiring to find traces and fragments of ideas about the world tree, axsis mundi, in Finnskogen. I have transformed these and some parallel stories into songs that are encircled by instrumental passages and improvisations by the musicians. Mircea Eliade comments on axsis mundi that, 'every Microcosm, every inhabited region, has a Centre; that is to say, a place that is sacred above all.'

The colours of The Magical Forest glow in this remarkable recording which brings together the improvisers of Sinikka Langeland's 'Starflowers' quintet with the singers of the Trio Medieval.

Langeland, singer-harpist and verse-maker of Finnskogen in Eastern Norway, here looks at of regional traces and fragments of ideas about axis mundi, the world tree: 'I have transformed these fragments and some parallel stories into songs that are encircled by instrumental passages and improvisations by the musicians. Mircea Eliade comments on axis mundi that, 'every Microcosm, every inhabited region, has a Centre; that is to say, a place that is sacred above all.''

The Magical Forest was recorded at Oslo's Rainbow Studio in February 2015, and produced by Manfred Eicher.
