A little about the Saltö recording sessions

This summer we went to Saltö, Sweden to record our new (and first) album.  

Saltö is strangely beautiful.  It is in no way conspicuous and it has no special features, but still it makes a deep impression on you. The music we made there is like that too, we believe.

At Saltö someone has been so visionary as to build a small concert hall and put a grand piano there. Actually that is nearly everything there is on the island.  When you go to Saltö you cross the islands Daftöen, Öddö og Tjärnö and as you go it gets more and more depopulated. Saltö is almost pure nature except the few people that live there. 

We stayed at Saltö for five days during which we made all kinds of sonic experiments like recording Kosterhavet (the sea surrounding the Koster Islands) with hydrophones.

We are planning to release an album with some of the Saltö recordings in the beginning of 2012.

Best,
