                            21th century hybrid songwriting:
 
Danish composer and musician Magnus Olsen Majmon is the prime spirit
behind this new songbased and hybrid sound art release from his own imprint Empty Sounds Rec. 
 
Where Majmon's quite differentiated recent releases under the Elektronavn moniker primarily
focused on instrumental sound art in longer forms, his new album under this new 'Elektronavn Sacred Songbook' moniker
departs from ancient texts and unfolds as beautiful hybrid songs of shorter duration. The texts e.g. derives from such powerful
sources as The Corinthians (from the Bible), ancient Chinese Odes, Japanese Zen knowledge and 19th century Danish poetry.
Timeless, spiritual and poetic texts confronted with 21th century hybrid soundscapes.
 
Besides from his vocals, Majmon colours his hybrid songs with a broad arsenal of both western and non-western instruments,
and on several tracks you'll also hear tonal colours from experimental viola-player Robert Karlsson and classically trained soprano Rebecca Persson.
All music composed, played and produced by Magnus Olsen Majmon 2008/2009 (#5 2007/09)
