Light by Håkon Thelin

Light was recorded in the Lindeman Hall and the Levin Hall at the Norwegian Academy of Music between November 2008 and January 2011, produced by Prof. Knut Guettler with Cato Langnes from NOTAM (Norwegian Center for Technology in Music and the Arts) as sound engineer. The album features three pieces for double bass that were composed during the fellowship period, as well as the earlier pieces Amarcord and oibbinadocS for solo double bass. Two duos, Light and Glasperlenspielv are performed together with the Italian violinist Marco Rogliano and Norwegian tenor Frank Havrøy. The tape part for Shared moments was recorded and realised at NOTAM together with composer and programmer Asbjørn Flø. The tape contains solely sounds from the double bass, except for a short section with an Indian tabla drum that was played by Andreas Bratlie.

The album won the Norwegian grammy award Spellemannprisen in 2011 for best contemporary music release.
