The second album from young Norwegians
Splashgirl
see them re-inventing themselves from a piano trio in the European jazz tradition to a "band" in a more boundary-less musical landscape someplace between ambient, experimental rock, jazz, and contemporary music. It is still improvised acoustic music, but it definitely sounds quite different. The music on
Arbor
takes a more minimalistic and defined collective approach where the use of long, sustained sounds binds together a broad palette of string and percussion instruments. The band mentions
Eric Satie
,
Earth
,
Morton Feldman
, and
Oren Ambarchi
as important references. Repetition and duration play a major role on
Arbor
as the music unfolds slowly and leaves a lot of room for a focus on details. Splashgirl play improvised music that doesn't sound improvised. This time they wanted to have a more collective approach to the music, and by improvising, they have found sounds and song-ideas that they have developed further during the recording sessions.
Arbor
also features contributions by pedal steel guitarist
Anders Hofstad Sørås
, and singer/songwriter/sound artist
Lasse Passage
, two musicians with whom Splashgirl have been working closely with for some time now. Splashgirl was formed in 2004 on an initiative from pianist
Andreas Stensland Løwe
. He,
Jo Berger Myhre
and
Andreas Lønmo Knudsrød
had known each other since high school, and had played together in several other bands.
Arbor
was recorded in an old tree house called Biermannsgården in Oslo, and mixed by
Ingar Hunskaar
before pre-mastered to analog tape by Lasse Passage.
