Erlend Apneseth Trio & Maja S.K. Ratkje ~ Collage
Collage is an apt name for an album that creates its own sonic world through field recordings, unusual instrumentation and vivid vocal experimentation. The team-up of Norwegian trio Erlend Apneseth Trio & Maja S.K. Ratkje began as an “impromptu concert” that
