about

Camilla Hole and her trio released their first folk/jazz album «Halvemål» Oct. 12th.

The trio thinks that traditional folk music belongs to the future, and should be used by ever new generations. The musicians play folk music, mainly from the county og Sogn og Fjordane on the west coast of Norway, but also some new compositions. Camilla, Fredrik og Knut have their background also in jazz and improvised music, and play instruments normally not associated with Norwegian folk music. They use their instruments and their musical preferences to make their interpretations of the beautiful traditional tunes, that are given to our time through musicians of many generations. The trio add their own personality to the tunes, based on their perception of the essence of the tunes.

Halvemål is a strange phenomenon found in some dialects. It is a practice of omitting the Hs in some words, and instead adding them to the start of other words. The result is a unique Halvemål – or Alvemål («Fairy language» in Norwegian) if you like. In the same way, Camilla Hole trio reshuffles elements of the traditional music, puts it into a playful and improvisatory universe, thus creating their own musical Halvemål.
