A nest at the junction of paths - The new songs

With the upcoming release of The New Songs, the listener is invited to experience music containing a unique and delicate awareness of sound, revitalizing the otherwise heavily burdened tradition of the song form. Eve and Sofa have composed pieces that are deconstructing, fragmenting, questioning and putting the song into a new musical context. The New Songs is a multinational group consisting of four strong musicians. Despite their young age they all have achieved high acclaim on each side.

Eve Risser : piano, preparations

Kim Myhr : guitar, baroque guitar, zither    

Recorded in Paris 25-27 September 2011
Composition and lyrics by Sofia Jernberg & Eve Risser
