SIGNE FØRRE
I have a deep love for multicultural music. My greatest passion is learning about cultural heritage and languages. This album is a part of me, reflecting what matters most to me: Multicultural music, nature, and creativity intertwined with historical material. I’m joined by my beautiful quartette, Torbjørn Økland, Jo Asgeir Lie and Kåre Opheim, who are very important to me and with whom I’ve collaborated for five years. I hold deep respect for the original folk music and have strived to create arrangements that dress each song in new attire, fitting each piece while honoring its roots.
FAGERT
This is my debut album, Fagert. It was first performed in Finnesloftet, an old wooden hall in Norway from 1295ad. The oldest song on this album, from Türkiye, was written at the same time as Finnesloftet was built in Voss. Like Finnesloftet, these song has endured through the ages, and while their surroundings may have changed, the music remains timeless. Now, with my modern arrangements, it finds itself in a new setting. As you listen to this album, I will take you on a jouney through different time periods, countries and cultures. Recorded summer 2024 in Etne, Norway by ABC Studio.
