Award-winning Karl Seglem, reknowned for his innovative and emotive world-jazz, joins forces with the top of Norwegian folk- and jazz musicians. His concept-album, the 2LP masterpiece Mytevegar (2023) has it´s "rebirth" on a new cd-release to come Oct.18.2024. An international release with promotion and distribution focus on Germany and Portugal. Norwegian reviews of Mytevegar was overwhelming: "It's tough, exciting, and together with the poems, it makes Mytevegar one of the best and most important Norwegian albums of the entire 2023, regardless of any genre." Roy Ervin Solstad, Stereo +

The red line: Climate change, loss of nature, ecoside, antrophocene: "Deep fear. Deep tranquility" is the title of his 5th. poetry collection which he reads from on the albums. Together with a great band he´s presenting a combine world-, prog- and experimental jazz kind of music, taking the listener straight to the new landscapes of Norway: stone deserts, cabin-hotels and industry, versus cut down of old forests, destroyed landscapes for useless windmills, polluted fjords for salmon-growth and a goverment that opens up for more fossil growth. Among others. Norway became extremely rich very fast, and why do we never stop wanting more? Music can give us hope and a feeling of togetherness. This album is both deeply poetic and dreamy, but also expresses dark fear and a melancholy every human beeing might feel now and then for the state of our planet we all share, and can stand together taking care of.
