Moments Worth Listening For
The way the Hardanger fiddle's sympathetic strings create a ghostly shimmering drone beneath the main melody on 'Sula Mountain'.
The transition from the delicate solo opening of the title track into a full, sweeping ensemble waltz.
The percussive, rhythmic bowing on 'Walking Strings' that mimics the physical sensation of a steady, determined pace.
