Early Piano Music 2CD – Ketil Bjørnstad

Old Norwegian prison ballads and years of work with inmates in Oslo Prison are a few ingredients the young Norwegian guitarist and composer Trond Kallevåg has put in his distinct lyrical and instrumental guitar-based sound of his upcoming album “Fengselsfugl” (Hubro). Instrumental front porch picking, folk, experimental lyrical soundscapes and field recordings combined with non traditional instruments such as musical glass and saw are some of the ingredients that make up the musical stew of Trond’s cinematic and somehow familiar melodic compositions. Some may call it «cinematic nordicana».
