This coming week will be a big one for me. Robin Lynch and I have made a new project, and a new album! It's an ambient album, with soft yoiking. I spent a few years convincing Robin that this was something I really wanted to to, and finally here we are. The project is called "So Silvae". Beautiful right?
And this weekend I will be at Sarahkka Festival once again. I will be doing a live version of the online yoik course we have. A few of the same people as last year have let me know they are coming this year again. That makes me happy and excited. Its good to know it is appriciated. :D
After that I am going straight to Piteå to play at Festspelen i Piteå. A concert with Elin & The Woods.
I think they are working on making a streaming of this concert, so maybe if you look into it, you might find a link to the streaming of the concert. Its on 18th of june at 1800.
And fun news! I have taken out the antlers I wore on Melodi Grand Prix 2017, so they will be making a comeback then! :D
From Norwegian Eurovision 2017 with Elin & Thew Woods
After that I am going back north, and working more on my tiny castle, and I will give you more news on that during the summer. I am determined to finish renovating this summer/fall!
Latest releases
This friday 14th of June Robin and I will release the full album of "So Silvae" The album is called "deeper" and is ambient, chill, relaxing music. It has no lyrics, - all I am doing is yoiking softly. I am excited to see how people respond to this music, as it is again - totally different from everything else I have done. You can find it on every platform on friday! Hope you enjoy!
