The mood is long and sacred, understated and graceful, painting an impression of yesteryear to support a bleak folklore filled with life. The tranquility of the modest aural tapestries form dream-like compositions, elegant improvisations, and emotionally charged fragments building with gradual change and evolution. These beautiful and mysterious textures conjure up the concept of &#8220;time,\u201d both modern and archaic. Meierkord&#8217;s tonal romanticizing of string-fused soundscapes finds emotional stimuli and tension within a deep rootedness to the Swede\u2019s melancholic soul.<\/p>\n<p><BR>ARTIST BIO:<\/p>\n<p><BR>Based in Stockholm, Henrik Meierkord&#8217;s cello is his main instrument, though he also masters viola, double bass, &#038; guitar. Bringing a neoclassical approach to his stringed instruments and effects, he has released 9 solo albums and 13 collaborations since 2018. <strong>Zeitreisen<\/strong> is Meierkord&#8217;s first release for Portland\u2019s Projekt Records, following his performances on Black Tape For A Blue Girl\u2019s <strong>The Cleft Serpent<\/strong> (2021) and Aarktica&#8217;s <strong>Paeans<\/strong> (2023).<\/p>\n<h3>Projekt release: December 1 2023<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> <a href=https:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/zeitreisen TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28098,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,50,135,978,99],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-28053","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-darkambient","product_cat-henrik-meierkord","product_cat-neo-classical","pa_artist-henrik-meierkord","pa_format-digital","pa_release-year-924","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/28053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28053"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=28053"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=28053"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=28053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
