about

Helga Myhr has for some time distinguished herself by her hard hitting Hardager fiddle playing and mild voice. Now making her debut as a solo artist with the record «Natten veller seg ut», she stands out with a completely unparalleled, incredible expression that brings both prehistoric, medieval and modernist music to our minds.

Myhr shows in a mature manner that she has a broad perspective, and chooses to go into several different traditions. The most apparent is the song tradition from her native valley Hallingdalen. She has learnt this from her mother Gunnlaug Lien Myhr and this is what most of the repertoar on the album consists of. The approach to fiddle playing as a means to create abstract soundscapes we Norwegians can trace back to composer and violinist Ole-Henrik Moe (1966-). To play the fiddle and sing at the same time is possible to hear on old archive recordings by Eivind Sigurdsson Berg (1892-1983) from Valle in Setesdal, and has probably been a custom way of expression for troubadours a long way back. Adding up, this is now Helga Myhr's own tradition, and it is a huge privilege for Motvind Reords to act as an intermediary between this tradition and the audience.

Perspektiv på norsk folkemusikk is a newly formed series on Motvind Records that deals with different traditions that is characterised by giving us a feeling that they bring out the soulfulness that sheds light over a certain significance in the essence of Norwegian folk music. The purpose of the series is to give people that want to listen to Norwegian folk music a broad selection of expressions that hopefully will inspire to further listening and reflections. There are already two-three other records on it's way, and with the combination of unique music and elegant design, we hope that these will be sought after collector's items for those who knows that physical format still is the most soothing format.
