Questions, Exploration, and Findings – by Peter Huboi
(a small departure from my normal blog topic … but relevant to Social Media)
In a momentary snapshot in time on Feb 25th 2010 the following facts are observed:
I’ve mentioned some unique and novel iPhone instruments from Smule in a previous post , but when I ran across the music and instruments of Norwegian percussionist and composer Terje Isungset, I thought that I simply have to share this. Terje crafts his own instruments from Norwegian natural elements such as arctic birch, granite, slate, sheep bells and even ice. The sounds are pure arctic poetry. Is that gong tone coming from ice ?
Some links to Terje’s music (listen with a decent set of headphones or multimedia speakers, not laptop speakers):
The music itself I would describe as ambient. I’m amazed by the tonal character of the sounds. The sparse simplicity of Terje’s compositions allows the natural beauty of the instruments speak. Not everyone has “ambient music” in their collection. If you don’t, you might give this artist a listen and consider adding some Terje Isungset music to your collection.
I suppose the connection to Social Media Marketing is that I’m writing about this in my blog and you might be amazed enough yourself to retweet or post a link to this on facebook. Or if you are a traditional instrumentalist or solo vocal instrumentalist, you might be interested enough to contact Terje to collaborate as some other artists have. Bring a warm coat.
