About Me |
|
| The singer and songwriter Cecilie Andersen, made her first album with guitarist Ketil Fersum in 2000, under the name "Ildfugl". In 2004, she got a scholarship for “composers of popularmusic” and went to India to study at Shri PK Salve Music Academy, Maharashtra. Here a completely new experience in her life started.Surrounded by the very special spiritual atmosphere of Indian music culture and the guidance of the founder of the academy Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi , songs emerged. After coming back to Norway they teamed up with Harald Søreide and Eirin Røykenes. because their background from Norwegian folk music added a genuine, traditional atmosphere to the songs. (besides, they were also very nice people) Anthropologist, philosopher and producer Geir Luedy (Robert Post, Karin Park, Susanne Sundfør .....).together with keyboard wizard Erlend Fauske, tom-tom drum doctor Tor-Bjarne Bjelland(Robert Post, Trucks) and bass therapist Vemund Stavenes(Span) contributed to create the expression of SantaCecilia. Here are some of the cuts. We hope you will enjoy them. Layout by CoolChaser Background from flickr user .. .. |
