"WONDERING & CALLING"
Fønix Musik
With Birgitte Grimstad one must always expect the unexpected. Her vocal experimentations will never cease to amaze us. In this occasion more than ever. Wondering & Calling consists of only two themes of a long duration each, in which Grimstad performs meditative chants that seem to pierce the soul. The artist only wishes to explain in sounds what the feelings express, and to do so she utilizes the instrument she has most available to her, and which needs the least intermediaries: the human voice. This is how she succeeds in creating a series of lyric textures of an extreme sensitivity, apt for introspection and recollection. Meditating with Grimstad's voice and vocal music has besides the supplementary incentive of the composer's experience in this field.
