This is Norwegian
Arve Henriksen
's third full-length release on Rune Grammofon. On
Strjon
, Henriksen is joined by his
Supersilent
colleagues
Ståle Storløkken
and
Helge Sten
, who also produced the album.
Strjon
brings together the various sides of Henriksen, from the zen-like solo pieces of his debut album
Sakuteiki
to the open-ended melancholia of
Chiaroscuro
to the dark, brooding lyricism of Supersilent. "Strjon" is the medieval name of Arve's hometown Stryn on the west coast of Norway, referring to a streaming river or water. The nature around Stryn is fantastic and the changes between winter and summer are quite drastic, from crashing avalanches in steep mountains to calm beauty and majestic tranquility. Some of the music dates back to sketches made by a young Arve Henriksen in these surroundings, later worked on by both Arve himself and Helge Sten. Arve Henriksen is without doubt one of Norway's leading instrumentalists and a master of the trumpet, as can be heard on his previous solo albums, numerous Supersilent albums and as a side player for musicians such as
Trygve Seim
,
Christian Wallumrød
,
Dhafer Youssef
,
David Sylvian
and
Frode Haltli
to name only a few. As Henriken himself explains: "
Most of the music comes from my own 'library' of sounds and music created during my days at Stryn. At the age of 16 I started to make sketches and recorded lots of cassettes with improvised electronic sequences, and over the years loads of tapes and discs have been added to the pile of homemade studio sketches. My idea has been to look into this material to search for a history, for moods, perhaps to understand a little bit more and maybe discover some reasons for why I play like I do
." Performed by: Arve Henriksen (trumpet, voice, keyboards and electronics), Ståle Storløkken (keyboards) and Helge Sten (guitars and bow).
