The sounds and timbres resounding through "Fra en Vugge i Fjellet" are a
melange of archaic and contemporary instruments: from the primitive
percussion of birchwood and chestnuts to digital synthesizers via
traditional Norwegian horns, drums, harps and lyres, all flowing
together into a poetic whole. The harmonies and techniques of Fedrespor
hark back to diverse sources such as the pastoral hymns of Popol Vuh and
Mike Oldfield, the magnificent fjellsynth of Ildjarn-Nidhogg, and the
sombre and yearning pomp of the Neofolk genre, converging in a unity
imbued in rustic, frostencased swathes of dreamlike nostalgia.
The Janus-faced works of Fedrespor reminisce of the days of yore but
also gazes forward, leading the project to higher grounds than your
contemporary superficially Norse-themed ethno-ambient. "Fra en vugge i
fjellet" is an evocative journey, not just through the northern
wildernesses but into the forlorn wilderness of the heart and memories
of humankind.
