Info zu Movements of Air

“Movements of Air” is the highly anticipated fifth album from Daniel Herskedal’s acclaimed trio, featuring Eyolf Dale on piano and Helge Andreas Norbakken on drums and percussion. Marking his tenth remarkable release with Edition Records, this album seamlessly bridges his foundational trio debut, “Slow Eastbound Train,” with previous masterpieces like “The Roc” and “Voyage.” Over the past decade, Daniel Herskedal has consistently pushed the boundaries of the tuba, crafting music that is both profoundly introspective and expansively cinematic.

At its core, “Movements of Air” delves into themes of hope, the pursuit of a better future, and the very essence of musical creation. With masterful performances from all members and intricate compositions, Herskedal navigates the delicate balance between good and evil, war and peace. Tracks such as “The Olive Branch” and “Peace River Crossing” showcase his ability to create emotionally resonant soundscapes, while pieces like “Elements of Harmony” and “Harmonic Allusions” highlight his innovative approach to harmony and texture. This album stands as a testament to Herskedal’s extraordinary talent, transcending the traditional limits of his instrument to deliver music that is both emotionally compelling and artistically groundbreaking.

Daniel Herskedal’s exceptional achievements further underscore his artistic prowess and versatility. His notable arrangement of “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)” for the 2019 film “The Last Black Man in San Francisco,” produced by Brad Pitt, was later featured in Coca Cola’s global ‘Open Like Never Before’ advertising campaign. His extensive collaborations include performances with prestigious ensembles such as the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Royal Norwegian Navy Band, and the Russian Patriarchate Choir of Moscow. His collaborative project with Marja Mortensson won the Norwegian Grammy in 2019, and in 2021, he secured The Ambies Award for Best Original Score and Music Supervision for the podcast “9/12.” Additionally, his work with artists like Keaton Henson and Emilie Nicolas on their album “Out of the Fog” further highlights his versatility and collaborative spirit.
