Anna Von Hausswolff

After reading an article in Prog magazine I decided to check out Anna Von Hausswolf. I am still not sure about this track "Come Wander With Me/ Deliverance" But its very original and disturbing. Which fits the discription of the albums theme.

When Anna von Hausswolff was young, her parents used to tell her stories about a place the family loved to visit. The location is seeped in a complicated history: a home, for example, to Sweden’s traditional folk music, it’s an area of outstanding natural beauty, but once provided the backdrop for a momentous uprising against the country’s king during which thousands of peasants were slaughtered, leaving its landscapes bathed in blood. The tales in which von Hausswolff lost herself – some true, some less so – were on occasions charming, at other times horrifying, but they always lingered long after bedtime. It became, to her, a place of mystery, magic and terror, and, though she won’t say where it is, she still returns repeatedly, if sometimes only in her imagination. She calls the place miraculous.

    Yes, it is an interesting 10 minute listen.  Very ethereal, almost like sacred choral music meets electronic.  It would be good for background music.
     
    I can totally relate to the "original and disturbing" label though.

    Hi,
     
    This and Alan Stivell's "Before Landing". Both ... and they tell a story of Europe's history that is not exactly G rated for school kids. WW2 wasn't any better, by the way!
     
    Alan, also has other songs about these things.

    Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!
