Alterne - Alterne

Det nydannede dream folk band Alterne præsenterer her deres debutalbum.
Med dette spændende og ambitiøse debutalbum søger Alterne at forene påvirkninger fra traditionel musik med moderne sangskrivning på dansk. Sangene dykker ned i forskellige aspekter af livet, der fremkalder levende landskaber og intime øjeblikke.

Med traditionelle instrumenter som violin, hardanger fiddle, kantele, accordeon, guitar, stomp box og sang skaber Alterne et stemningsfuldt musikalsk landskab med velklingende harmonier, repetitive motiver og virtuose melodier, der understreger de musikalske fortællinger. De udvisker bevidst grænserne mellem folk, pop og ambient, hvilket resulterer i et tidløst og unikt musikalsk udtryk.
