Elektronavn Sacred Songbook:
Letters from Emptiness

(released on CD, LP, DL)

 

Fra Geiger /årets albums
2010 om albummet:

 

"At Magnus Olsen Majmons
musikalske produktion hører
til en af de mest vedkom-
mende, interessante og
konsekvent eksperimenterende
herhjemme, er der næppe nogen tvivl om.

Dét hvad enten det har været sfærisk kunstmusik, psykedelisk folk eller ambiente feltoptagelser. Men på Letters from Emptiness og under navnet Elektronavn Sacred Songbook synes alt at gå op i højere enhed.

Udgangspunktet er en række engelske oversættelser af ældre østlige digte og tekster, fortolket, om- eller genskrevet til musik.

Lige fra den flotte og løfterigt instrumenterede, fuglefyldte solopgang i østens skove, til den minimalistiske, klaverbårne solnedgang over bjergene.

Fra lethørlige guitarsange til luftigt arrangerede, komplekse kompositioner. Med det åbne klaver og stemmen som omdrejningspunkt, såvel som regnen, strygerinstrumenterne, fløjterne og de rungende trommer.

Med Østen i fingrene; et smukt brev fra (og til) en verden af tomhed.

Og sjældent har dansk nationalskat lydt mere nærværende end på fortolkningen af Blichers "Det er Hvidt Herude" - med en fremmedartethed, der netop er med til at forny i stedet for at låse fast.

Et sært dragende, bevægende og svævende organisk værk."

*Elektronavn Sacred Songbook interview in Kristeligt Dagblad// (read as PDF here) october 2011 (Danish!)

**Writing in Danish 2011 on the topic music/health/artistic altruism: available in danish at Danish Composers Society SITE

***Elektronavn radio-interview by Tor Billgren, Sveriges P2 nov.2005 in swedish/danish

About Fire of Creation 2011

"Never a one to think small, Danish creator Elektronavn Sacred Songbook deals with themes immense such as eternity, the creation of the world, death, peace, religion and the rotation of the earth [...] there are very few records as heartfelt and sincere as this being made in 2011."

 - The Soundprojector Nov. 2011

" Majmon har en elegant evne til at arrangere og instrumentere sine sange, så de både lyder fremmede og nære. Så de både lyder frie og fastsatte. Improviserede og arrangerede. Der opleves en åndelighed og naturlighed i musikken. En meget håndgribelig, konkret natur, med Majmon vandrende syngende og observerende igennem.[...] man [føler]sig inviteret til deltagelse i sangenes knitrende flyden. De er fyldt med lys og huller, bløde rum, man kan lægge sig ind i og lytte rundt."

-  Geiger Dec. 2011

About Strange Hymns 2011

”Another amazing out-of-time set from Shiggajon’s uniformly ass-flattening imprint Golem Tapes. Elektronavn aka the vehicle for composer Magnus Olsen Majmon play ancient-sounding acoustic folk with a minimalist/devotional atmosphere. Aspects of early Meredith Monk vocal work combine with the kind of singing medieval strings of Third Ear Band/Toho Sara and even Kronos Quartet’s Early Music recordings to create a dizzying future-primitive hybrid that is as folk-based as it is radically free. Fantastic. ”
