Worship can come in many forms, and can happen in many different kinds of place. Music can make its church anywhere. With
Places Of Worship
,
Arve Henriksen
moves into the front rank of world class musicians. The Norwegian trumpet player has made his mark over many years, not only as the horn player with the consistently challenging and long lived group
Supersilent
, but also as the purveyor of exquisite and distinctive solo work that stretches to four solo albums since 2001, which Rune Grammofon repackaged as a career-spanning box set,
Solidification
(RLP 2137LP). Deeply rooted in the sublime geology of his Norwegian homeland, Henriksen's music has developed into something beautifully at one with natural habitats and reflecting the hybrid, cosmopolitan environments of the twenty-first century. On
Places Of Worship
, he inhabits the space between these two worlds, in a series of tone poems and mood pieces located around religious buildings and ruins. These still, silent quarters and abandoned houses of the holy can be where we experience our deepest moments of reflection, silence and occasionally fear. Making the aura of these places audible, Henriksen's haunted horn and idiosyncratic treble vocals carry an air of treading on forbidden territory, stirring up the dust of forgotten spirits. As well as suggesting the creaking timbers and salty tang of North African ports ("Alhambra") and the whiff of Gallic scirocco ("Le Cimitière Marin"), it stirs fond memories of fellow musical souls, both alive and dead: the
Miles Davis
of
Sketches Of Spain
and
Aura
; the
Fourth World
exotica of
Jon Hassell
. Henriksen's music has reached a new intensity on
Places Of Worship
. It will leave you becalmed, bewildered, bewitched...And full of praise.
