Spindel

Norwegian folkweb

The pleasure Sigrid Moldestad and Liv Merete Kroken get from playing music together is the core of their collaboration. It all started when they were students together at “fiddlers’ school”, the Ole Bull Academy in Voss, Norway, in 1996. As they developed as solo artists and ensemble players they naturally began to create their own music and arrangements. With mutual respect for each other’s unique point of view they gradually learned to feel secure in playing together, in creating, trying and failing, in interpreting together.
Folk music and tradition are the foundations Moldestad and Kroken build on. Here there are at least 2 fiddles, 16 strings, 4 stomping feet – and, along the path, lots of joy and laughter.
"We are humble and grateful when we continue to spin the web [spindel is a Norwegian word for spider] that was begun by others long ago…"
