Hans P. Kjorstad & Ernst Reijseger
Gap of Ginn

About the release

The fiddle player Hans P. Kjorstad from Oppland and the cellist Ernst Reijseger from the Netherlands met when the concert series Blow Out! in Oslo invited Kjorstad to come and play with whoever he wanted. The choice was simple, Reijseger’s background as a pioneering improviser since the 70s (ICP, Amsterdam String Trio, Clusone 3+++) plus the later years’ explorations of the interplay between sound and image in collaboration with master director Werner Herzog was almost too good for to be true. Kjorstad & Reijseger quickly found a common repertoire consisting of patient melodious improvisations with airy and playful interplay
