    “When we moved to tent and the light was golden and we were young, and the magazine was all there was to bring, and you woke in the night when the birds were singing just for you and the smell of soil and the warm breath over through you, ohh it moved you. All there was to it, was the morning of my life.”

    The overall idea behind the first two A Taste of Ra records was for me to work with my voice, instruments and recording techniques on a more personal level.

    On this final record in the trilogy, I’ve taken a different approach. It started off with one song that I developed and visualized together with Jari Haapalainen into six movements. Together they create a sense of a film-like dramatic pattern. Then we tactfully decided on the right locations and casting for the recordings, while Johan Berthling made some beautiful arrangements for three of the movements. After recording and mixing, I realized that we had created a musical monster that will challenge and hopefully inspire listeners for a long time to come.

    When your ears are gates and they're wide open.
    Levels of sound will chase you down, collide, kiss and fight.
    In the yard that you now found;
    The past will meet the present, you're paying past with present.
    When you finally hear her voice that make you leave your body behind and meet as gods...
    Sound will evolve and something that was once heard by the keeper of the horizon is now heard by you.

    This is album number two in the A Taste of Ra trilogy.

    Free flowing folk from one of Sweden's most unique voices. The album is song-based with a very relaxed atmosphere. Organ, piano, guitar and flutes blend with percussive elements and sounds from open windows. This together with the highly original vocals and a permitting attitude toward recording technology make this a very special album!
