A journey through an innovative landscape of sound, and with the inherent blend of Nordic tonalities and Swedish folklore, there are many moments of recognition that brings contemplative thoughts to barren mountains and vast, open landscapes, infinite forests and red painted cottages. Music that breathes hope and longing, desolation and thoughtfulness, contemplation and wonder, sprawling joy and streaks of sorrow. The melodies are permeated by peace and confidence. They take an indirect stand for human dignity. Extraordinary composer Mikael Godée has created an alternative for stressed and tormented fellow human beings, a comforting counterforce.
