HENRIKSEN, ARVE
CHRON + COSMIC CREATION (RUNE GRAMMOFON)
Cosmic Creation follows and expands upon Arve Henriksen's 2013 album Places Of Worship, a series of tone poems and mood pieces located around religious buildings and ruins.
With Cosmic Creation he has gone beyond physical place to an audio exploration of pure rapture, contemplation and universal origins.
His latest piece, in eight parts, enters deep space and time to convey a powerful sense of the eternal..
Cosmic Creation is released in a double set with Chron, an album which was first released as part of 2012's Solidification.
If Cosmic Creation is about timelessness, Chron is very much rooted in the modern world and the here and now.
Taken together, the two albums give a full picture of Arve's extraordinary breadth of vision as an artist.
