– The lyrics are based on the premise that an experience, or an emotional event and connection, helps define place as much as the physical boundaries we relate to, explains Sjovaag:
– It could be a celebration of 50 years in an Irish pub in Oslo, which was written in Scotsman on Karl Johan, a fable about distance and closeness on the way home in rush hour traffic, and other small snippets of life. I want the stories to feel relevant, even to listeners from the outside.

An improvised meeting between musicians that have know each other for years, can be either boring, bland or magical. In this case, the latter might suffice, but only when adding ‘inspiring’ to the description.

This duo is a meeting between two improvisers and jazz musicians working together to create improvised stretches where Arilds extensive knowledge and experience meets Sjøvaag’s rhythmic musicality. With a percussion setup based on hand drums from the Middle East, tensions between, and auditory images across, genres and cultures are created when the sound of these drums meet Arild’s unique expression that stems from his background in Norwegian folk and jazz music. While some passages are based on composed melodies and other flows freely from a common starting point, the focus is on gentle interaction between two musicians, each with their own strong, personal voice.
