Stafraenn Hákon

CD (2004)

Secret Eye / Vogor Rer.    Stafraenn Hákon : ..eignast Jeppa (ICE,2004)**

This is an on 4-track home-recorded release by Stafreann, played mostly on amplified guitar with more spacey guitar textures, some drum programming, and electric bass, with here and there some keyboard and melodica. This is the re-release of a private publication from 2001.

We hear very moody minimal structural evolutions, (in the direction of Slow Six but then much more guitar based), in a very consistent, slow but steady evolution. It’s not ambient music or soundtrack-like; its calmness is from a different order, based upon an evolving musical compositional evolution. The release sounds like one, perfect and calm composition. Nice !
