Drawing on drone, ambient sound, and free improvisation, guitarist/electronics player Nils Wohlrabe joins Karin Johansson on piano, prepared piano, and toy piano, with Hasse Westling on double bass, shaping electronically processed ocean waves, resonant strings, and acoustic depth into an unpredictable, atmospheric soundscape of pulsing motion, shifting timbre, and expansive, wave-like momentum.

Inspired by the memoir from Swedish poet Tomas Tranströmer, this first album from the ORD quintet uses text from Tranströmer and original work from pianist & composer Karin Johansson and vocalist Jenny Willén, with trombonist Niclas Rhyd, reedist Gunnel Samuelsson and bassist Hasse Westling, in an exquisite set of introspective songs that bridge composed and improvised forms.
