HARDINGROCK - "New Musical Collaboration" Features EMPEROR's Ihsahn, Wife; Music Online Mnemosyne Productions has issued the following:
"Mnemosyne Productions are happy to announce a brand new musical collaboration between Starofash, Ihsahn and one of Norway’s most well known folk musicians, Knut Buen. The project is called HARDINGROCK and the album is titled Grimen.
“It has been a great experience to work with such a fine musician as Knut Buen”, says Heidi S. Tveitan, the name behind Starofash. “The process has been challenging in terms of us having to work within the tonality of Norwegian Folk music, and to make non-rhythmic music into ‘rock’n roll rhythms’”, she continues.
“Even though the elements the three of us brought to the table were very contrasting, I think we’re all very pleased with how it came together”, says Ihsahn. “The material provided to us by Knut is a huge part of Norway’s cultural treasure, and I think the album definitely is a worthy development that rocks!”
This album is set for release on June 11th, 2007, and is distributed by musikkoperatorene.no ."
