Intimately recorded and sampled by Brooklyn-based musician Zosha Warpeha, the fiddle (more precisely a 10-string Hardanger damore) is often employed to evoke the natural world, Nordic landscapes, and mythology. From expansive drones to lilting melodies, the pack incorporates an assortment of extended techniques embracing the tonalities and resonance of the instruments sympathetic strings while remaining informed by classical Norwegian technique.?
