Mari Samuelsen - Dessner: Song for Octave (Arr. Badzura for Solo Violin, Piano & Electronics)

‘To me, Song for Octave welcomes you into a different world. A dreamland in slow motion.
I imagine being a child and walking in a glass house for the very first time, watching the rays of sunshine coming through the leaves of a big tree. It's a quiet and peaceful conversation between light and shadow. (Pure and beautiful).‘ – @samuelsenofficial

Rich in contemporary colour and contrast, LIFE – Mari Samuelsen’s third album for Deutsche Grammophon – is inspired by her experience of becoming a mother. Known for her vibrant and imaginative programming as well as her passionate and virtuosic playing, the Norwegian violinist has created a kaleidoscopic musical reflection of some of the emotional discoveries that come with parenthood. The album presents music by Olivia Belli, Bryce Dessner, Ludovico Einaudi, Nils Frahm, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Mário Laginha, Hania Rani, Max Richter and Steve Reich, with a dash of Schubert also thrown into the mix. Samuelsen was joined at Teldex Studios in Berlin last autumn by a small group of fellow musicians, including the string players of Scoring Berlin, conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer. LIFE comes out digitally and on vinyl on 23 August 2024.

I heard this song on the radio KUSC while driving and really enjoyed it. The electronic bass notes really were emphasized in my car. I played it again after I got home. Great stuff. Inspiring to this hobbyist musician.

When I feel down, I routinely revisit this lovely lady's Invierno Porteno by Astor Piazzolla, (Winter in Buenos Aires) to be imbued by her dextrous power, passion and fire. Then the world feels right again. Now I have a new favourite.

Eu realmente gostei desta música, tenho certeza que ficaria perfeita em algum polar de Fasandræberne.
