Michael Borella I only became aware of cellist Henrik Meierkord recently and, as usual in these situations, was pleasantly surprised with the depth of his discography. This release from December 2023 appears to be his latest and serves as a reasonable starting point...

Lavinie Cloutier Est-ce que j'ai déjà dit que j'adorais le violoncelle? Ben j'ai craqué! Vous allez vous recentrer sur vous même en écoutant cet album. Imaginez vous que vous flottez au dessus de la canopée nordique vers le grand nord où règne la glace... Que la paix s'installe dans votre esprit...Reposez vous bien...

Montrealbilly Stunningly beautiful! Wonderful for creating stillness of mind.

Dave Aftandilian Starkly beautiful instrumental evocations of the emotions winter can stir within us: a hushed pause that allows for deep contemplation; a melancholy feeling that brings a smile rather than a tear; and a sense of the balanced strength and fragility of ice that makes it so mysterious and lovely.

about

Swedish composer Henrik Meierkord's main instrument is the cello, though he incorporates other stringed instruments and effect pedals to create the modern minimalistic ambient pieces within the musical cycle of ZEITREISEN (German for “time travel.”)

The tracks are interwoven with a restrained Scandinavian melodic mixture of baroque medieval harmonies and neoclassic atmospherics as if pulled from a region that defines sorrow. The mood is long and sacred, understated and graceful, painting an impression of yesteryear to support a bleak folklore filled with life. The tranquility of the modest aural tapestries form dream-like compositions, elegant improvisations, and emotionally charged fragments building with gradual change and evolution. These beautiful and mysterious textures conjure up the concept of "time,” both modern and archaic. Meierkord's tonal romanticizing of string-fused soundscapes finds emotional stimuli and tension within a deep rootedness to the Swede’s melancholic soul.

BIO:

Based in Stockholm, Henrik Meierkord's cello is his main instrument, though he also masters viola, double bass, & guitar. Bringing a neoclassical approach to his stringed instruments and effects, he has released 9 solo albums and 13 collaborations since 2018. ZEITREISEN is his first release for Projekt, following his performances on Black Tape For A Blue Girl’s THE CLEFT SERPENT (2021) and Aarktica's PAEANS (2023).
