Description:

First ECM solo album from the Norwegian violinist who has gained many friends for his work with the Christian Wallumr d Ensemble. Okland's solo music is strongly inspired by the rich Norwegian fiddle tradition and it's freedom, variation and individuality, yet what he plays is not purely 'folk music' rather a reinvention of folk forms, with free improvisation and contemporary composition also powerful influences. The 'personality' of the instruments themselves is also an inspiration: On the track Monograph Okland makes the most of the 'drone' qualities of the viola d'amore and the Hardanger fiddle (he plays both old and modern models) as well as an old violin from 1700, in a recital of subtle and melodic invention.
