New album from Kim Rysstad. <\/p>\n
After the success with his previous album, \u201dVegen\u201d, Kim Rysstad was inspired to write more music himself. During the time in studio for his new recording, everything was open, nothing was planned or decided, other than thoughts and unfinished ideas. With Hallgrim Brattberg on guitars and various string-instruments, Helge Lien on grand piano and H\u00e5kon Iversen as the producer, they had room to record with improvisation and explore the possibilities of each track. The result became "Timeglas".<\/p>\n

New album from Kim Rysstad.<\/p>\n
When Kim chose songs for his second album, he chose to mix traditional music and lyrics with newly written songs. He also dared to put on one of his own songs on the album, \u201dAldri aleine\u201d, and several reviewers praised the track , and this inspired him to write more of his own material.
\nOn \u201dTimeglas\u201d he has written either text or melody to five of eleven songs. Other contributors includes Elin Nyg\u00e5rd, Trym Bj\u00f8nnes, Anne Takle, Ingebj\u00f8rg Bratland, Sinikka Langeland and Hans Olav Settem.<\/p>\n
\u201dThe third day we gathered in the studio, I\u2019ve gotten a terrible cold ant that equals vocal crisis! But we started anyway, thinking I could always add new vocals later\u201d , says Kim. <\/p>\n
One of the songs they recorded was \u201dSo e det no\u201d, Kim\u2019s reinterpretation of Billy Joel\u2019s \u201dAnd so it goes\u201d. It was only vocals and piano. <\/p>\n
\u201dWe started, and played through. When it was done, we heard the producer H\u00e5kon\u2019s voice in the talk-back, and he said: \u2019I think you should get in here and listen a little…\u2019 And that was a recording that just had to be as it was. We felt that adding new vocals would have been wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the time in studio everything was open, nothing was planned or decided, other than thoughts and unfinished ideas. With Hallgrim Brattberg on guitars and various string-instruments, Helge Lien on grand piano and H\u00e5kon Iversen as the producer, they had room to record with improvisation and explore the possibilities of each track. <\/p>\n
It was difficult for Kim to find the title for this album.
\n\u201dOn previous recordings, the title was decided fairly quickly. This time I found it really difficult. One day the photographer Jens Haugen pointed out that many of the songs are about time. The time that elapse, the time that is and the time that was. One of the texts I\u2019ve made the melody for is \u201dSekund, Minutt\u201d, and in that lyric I found the word \u201dTimeglas\u201d. I knew right away that it was the right title\u201d.<\/p>\n
Kim grew up with traditional music around him, but doesn\u2019t hesitate to cross the genre boundaries. With his beautiful, sonorous voice, he conveys traditional songs as well as pop ballads with equal credibility.
\nFor many he\u2019s known for his participation in the Norwegian Eurovision (MGP), with the song \u201dS\u00e5 vidunderlig\u201d, which also was A-listed for months on NRK P1. His debut album was named \u2019Best Solo Album\u2019 at Folkelarm, and his second album \u201dVegen\u201d was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy awards.<\/p>\n
