Be Here Whenever is a perfect circle of nine creations by Danielle de Gruttola (Cello), Henry Kaiser (Guitar), Benedicte Maurseth (Hardanger Fiddle) and Stein Urheim (Guitar). It is music filled with the intense mindfulness that comes when one is confronted by nature at its most awe-inspiring, those places where one becomes acutely aware of how small they are within this world, never mind the cosmos beyond its thin atmosphere.

Over Tones is the highly attractive ECM debut of two exceptional folk musicians from the West of Norway – Benedicte Maurseth who plays the Hardanger fiddle and sings and vocalist Åsne Valland Nordli. Both musicians are well established in their homeland. Maurseth studied with Hardanger fiddle master Knut Hamre, and came to wider attention in 2007 as Norway’s Young Folk Musician of the Year. Nordli has collaborated with musicians ranging from the Bergen Philharmonic to jazz improvisers. Individually and together, Maurseth and Nordli have found personal ways to extend the essence of a great tradition – through historically-informed interpretation of old music and also through their own pieces. The purity of the delivery, of old music and new music alike, makes this a timeless performance.

A few years ago, musician, writer and philosopher David Rothenberg invited me to join him in several musical projects involving the sounds of unique birds from around the world.
While I stayed in Berlin we also gave some live outdoor concerts, playing with nightingales in various parks late in the evening in the city. Playing with these incredible birds changed how I listened to animals in nature.
During the same period Hardanger Musikkfest, an annual festival arranged in my home region of Hardanger, commissioned new music from me for their 2019 festival.
The festival theme that year was “vandring”, a word with many different meanings such as walking, hiking or strolling. I had grown up at Maurset, in the mountains of Eidfjord municipality, close to the edge of the Hardangervidda National Park, and had gone hiking in this region throughout my life. So the festival theme felt close to my heart.
