New Music from Erik Wøllo
On the next Echoes, music from Erik Wøllo. It seems like only yesterday that Wøllo released his album Solastalgia, and it kind of was. It was an Echoes CD of the Month last November. And now he has new one, Where the River Widens. It’s inspired, once again, by his home in Norway. It was composed at a retreat to the village of Skabu. It sits in far northern Norway and while it’s not above the arctic circle, because it has the highest elevation in Norway, it often has sub-arctic temperatures. But Erik was there in the summer working on art projects like wood cutting. While there, he found time to loop up new music and it is an extremely sensitive and sublime release where he creates landscapes out of multiple guitars and synthesizers. John Diliberto takes us across the river on Echoes from PRX.
