In September, they will release their debut album \"For sola skin' pa tak\" consisting of nine beautiful compositions by Thomas Eriksson.Thomas Eriksson has long been playing on the Swedish and Norwegian folk music scene in many different projects but is now fnally seen with his own band. With this project, he wants to highlight the guitar as a melodic instrument and provide space for sounds and free improvisation. The guitar's melodic and contrapuntal role adds a new nuance, and the hardanger fddle and clarinet go beyond their roles as melodic instruments with improvised soundscapes and accompaniment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"I was looking for an instrumentation where ordinary melodic instruments could also add an exciting accompaniment when the guitar leads the melody. When I heard Helga Myhr's solo album which contains a lot of improvisation and soundscapes, I realized that this was exactly what I was looking for. I have always liked the sound of hardanger fddle and bass clarinet together, and I wanted to be able to write a three-part arrangement with access to a deep bass. It was then a natural choice to ask Anna Malmström to join the project\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThomas Erikssonis a guitarist and composer who works mainly with Nordic folk music.
