著名「挪威傳統音樂革新者」Nils Okland,以挪威最具代表性樂器哈丹格爾小提琴(hardanger fiddle),持續建立民族音樂通往古典、當代與即興音樂的橋樑。他的演奏一方面秉持對挪威傳統音樂遺產的尊重,另一方面以自由態度探索傳統器樂在現代樂潮的衝擊下,到底會產生出什麼可能性。在這最新專輯 Bris 中,Okland不但演奏哈丹格爾小提琴、小提琴、中提琴與古中提琴(viola d’amore),還創作專輯中所有曲子(以哈丹格爾小提琴手來說頗不尋常,因為一般都是演奏既有曲目;部分樂曲則是特別為一部關於挪威19世紀浪漫主義畫派代表人物Lars Hertervig的劇作Melankolia所譜寫),聯同長期合作伙伴Sigbjorn Apeland(小風琴)、挪威著名即興爵士樂團Food的貝斯手Mats Eilertsen,加上打擊樂手Per Oddvar Johansen與 Hakon Stene,共同成就出這張簡約、沈鬱與內省的當代挪威新民謠傑作。
Nils Okland is an innovative violinist and Hardanger fiddle specialist who is creatively expanding the range of the traditional music of his homeland. He is a renewer of folk music, consistently building bridges to classical, contemporary and improvised music. His playing combines freedom with respect for Norway’s musical heritage and he is concerned both with the preservation of the oral folk music tradition and with the experimental possibilities of the music when it is charged with modern impulses. On ”Bris”, his third album and the second for Rune Grammofon, he has written all the music himself which is quite unusal for the genre. He is joined by Sigbjorn Apeland on harmonium, his musical companion since long, as well as Mats Eilertsen from Food on bass and Per Oddvar Johansen and Hakon Stene on percussion.
