Anders Hagberg - Dar Du Gar Music CD

Flutist Anders Hagberg and Johannes Landgren present this new release of traditional Swedish works. The artists write of the album: "We are two musicians from different musical backgrounds who both use improvisation as an expressive tool. For this album, we chose music with foundational, archetypal melodies: Swedish folk chorales, Gregorian chant and simple ballads. Our collaboration is characterized by exploratory encounters between traditions, genres, approaches to improvisation, and instrumental timbres, which we combine within unexpected melodic contexts. Anders Hagberg's artistic research on musical states, sound and silence has influenced our music. In particular, the tension between silence and sound became a central feature of this project. Music breathes- in space."
