Fly as never before is nature as an image of inner life. The music revolves around a psychological state, an awareness of fragments, and feeling free as if you are flying. It has a relaxing atmosphere, a peaceful mood, and melancholic melodies. A kind of ambient, classical crossover. It is the fifth movement of my coming album Nordic Fragments, which is connected to the aesthetic in “Nordic Broken” released in April 2022. Please listen here to Nordic nature in a psychological interpretation. The release is supported by Koda Kultur, and the composition is supported by Augustinus Fonden and Koda Kultur.
