Magnar Åm - Sonar (LP)

Magnar Åm's "Sonar" is a captivating exploration of sound and texture, released on 15 January 2009 under the 2L label. This 58-minute album showcases Åm's unique compositions, blending the ethereal qualities of the harp with the rich, resonant tones of strings and the celestial voices of angels. The album features three distinct pieces: "Vere Meininga," a concerto for harp and strings that unfolds like a conversation between the instruments; "Det Var Mjukt," a delicate duet for soprano and harp that highlights the interplay between voice and strings; and "Dette Blanke No," a concerto for harp and angels that creates a sense of otherworldly harmony. Åm's work on "Sonar" is a testament to his ability to craft intricate, immersive soundscapes that invite the listener to explore the boundaries of acoustic music.
