In the dynamically powerful, yet delicate sound of Karin Nakagawa’s koto and voice, combined with the ethereal whisper of Arve Henriksen’s trumpet, an unrehearsed dialogue unfolds into a rare synchronism between two souls.The duet is reminiscent of an archaic hymn to transience, which finds its solace in the embrace of beauty. According to the two artists, this session was inspired solely by a brief past exchange about the allure of Japanese gardens and the concept of Ikigai.

After composing music for the theatre production Kniven i ilden, presented by Riksteatret and Kvääniteatteri, the world of Ingeborg Arvola’s novel Kniven i ilden continued to resonate deeply within me. The story, its landscapes, and its inner strength gathered in my imagination and gradually transformed into music. The dedication of the actors, director Cecilie Mosli, and the entire crew to sharing knowledge about Kven culture has been profoundly inspiring. In addition, I have had stimulating collaborations with all the musicians in the Kaipu project, presented by Nordnorsk Jazzsenter, as well as the visual project Kaipu Kotia, together with visual artist Eili Bråstad.

The commitment from all these artists has nourished my own desire to go further — to explore more deeply into my father’s Kven roots.
