Summary: <p>Listen to new music for the instrument from Southwestern Norway known as the Hardanger fiddle, (or <em>hardingfele</em>), but of course there’s a twist. For this New Sounds, there’s post-rock, world music, electroacoustic music, and even an Irish-American duet on this Norwegian instrument – with music from Scotland, Ireland, and the U.S. Hear the collaborative recording between Hardanger fiddle master Nils Økland and the post-rock duo The Low Frequency In Stereo, called Lumen Drones – which comes off as a psychedelic drone band. Then, listen to music from the octogenarian bard Robin Williamson (of Incredible String Band reknown), along with violist Mat Maneri and drummer Ches Smith. Then, hear a duo record from Caoimhin O Raghallaigh (of <a href="http://www.wnyc.org/story/new-sounds-live-gloaming-greene-space/">The Gloaming</a>) and Dan Trueman (founder of <a href="http://plork.princeton.edu/">Princeton Laptop Orchestra</a>), which stretches and recombines the DNA of Norwegian folk and Irish trad fiddling on a 10-stringed instrument, the Hardanger d’Amore. Plus, there’s music from the Hardanger’s likely ancestor, the viola d’amore, by composer/violist Garth Knox, and more.</p> <p> </p> <p>PROGRAM #3676 Hardanger Fiddle Music (First aired on 12/23/2014) </p> <p>ARTIST(S)</p> <p>RECORDING</p> <p>CUT(S)</p> <p>SOURCE</p> <p>Lumen Drones (Nils Okland/Per Steinar Lie/Orjan Haaland)</p> <p>Lumen Drones</p> <p>Dark Sea [3:54]</p> <p>ECM 2434 <a href="http://ecmrecords.com">http://ecmrecords.com</a></p> <p>Annbjørg Lien</p> <p>Baba Yaga</p> <p>Aja [6:27]</p> <p>North Side #6044 / Grappa Musikkforlag GRCD 4158 <a href="http://annbjorglien.com/eng/pages/14-baba_yaga" target="_blank">annbjorglien.com</a></p> <p>Robin Williamson w/ Mat Maneri, viola and Ches Smith, drums</p> <p>Trusting In The Rising Light</p> <p>Our Evening Walk [5:40]</p> <p>ECM 2393 <a href="https://ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/ECM/2300/2393.php?cat=&we_start=0" target="_blank">ecmrecords.com</a></p> <p>Lumen Drones (Nils Okland/Per Steinar Lie/Orjan Haaland)</p> <p>Lumen Drones</p> <p>Keelwater [6:15]</p> <p>See above.</p> <p>Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh & Dan Trueman</p> <p>Laghdú</p> <p>fead an iolair [4:02]</p> <p><a href="http://store.irishmusic.net/album/laghd">store.irishmusic.net</a></p> <p>Carla Kihlstedt</p> <p>Borrowed Arms</p> <p>Hold My Own [5:00]</p> <p><a href="http://kihlstedtbossi.bandcamp.com/album/borrowed-arms" target="_blank">kihlstedtbossi.bandcamp.com</a></p> <p>Garth Knox</p> <p>D'Amore</p> <p>Malor me bat (2004) [4:54]</p> <p>ECM 1925 <a href="http://www.ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/New_Series/1900/1925.php" target="_blank">ecmrecords.com</a></p> <p> </p>
