This is one of my personal favorites from the Autumn Whispers album, the song The Dreamer.

Record and CD fair!

It is soon time for the seasonal record fair again. As the previous time, we will show up together with the amazing Oslo Rockantikvariat (the horseshoe stand around the staircase). I’ll bring everything available from the FairyMusic catalouge (may be a few left of the numbered LPs with signed poster). And: Autumn Whispers’ debut cd, SIGNED by the band!! See you on Rockefeller, Oslo, March 10th - from 10 am to 3 pm.

Live!

Yesterday we had our first little showcase at the local library, playing four songs from “Nine and Fifty Swans”. The setting was intimate, with a clear, low-key sound engineering to set the right mood. We played The Fisherman, Before the World was Made, Parting and To a Child Dancing in the Wind with the instrumentation of flute, cello, guitars and two vocals.

Autumn Whispers and Valentine’s Day

tirill — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:56:06 +0000

February 14th is the day! Autumn Whispers releases the album “Cry of Dereliction” and we will all be surrounded with pink hearts. Meanwhile, please enjoy the video presentation of the album!

The illustrations are made by Kjersti Kaasen Elvevold, and reflect the contents of each song. I can reveal that the CD cover itself has turned out really beautiful and artistic, with a 24 paged booklet and a three folded paper digipack cover. Something to really dwell in while you listen through the album. I especially like the image for The Dreamer, a song dedicated to Michael Piper, our friend that passed away in 2008. I like to think that this is the way he will be welcomed, wherever he might be going. The other images are equally deep, sometimes telling a hidden meaning in the song. For instance, what is Sokrates’ beard doing in the song Julia?

Musicians participating are:

Dino Steffens: Acoustic guitar, vocals; Tirill Mohn: Violin, vocals, percussion, nylon string guitar;Liew Ceng Teng: Keyboards; Theodoros Kouelis: Bass guitar, contrabass; Nils Einar Vinjor: Electric guitar; Nick Jones: Drums; Vangelis Kalamaras: Drums; Aleksander Koefoed: Bass guitar; Sigrun Eng: Cello.

The album is available for preorder at autumnwhispers.com

Happy New Year 2012!

2011 kind of rushed away for me with the preparations and releases of the three albums. I must admit that there have been some challenges (with deadlines and so), but also much fun! I am very impatient to get ahead with the next one! But wait! There is one more in line before that. The Autumn Whispers’ debut record will be out on February 2012. We are very excited about it, after many months of recording and preparing. Feel free to have listen at Autumn Whispers MySpace. I will keep you posted about the progression of this release, as well as other things I want to share with you in the year to come!

I wish it will be a happy one, with inspiration, growth and joy – for all of you!

Season’s Greetings!

I know this is not the best production – and some of you have heard this arrangement before. But I love this old tune, and I think the recording still has a kind of charm to it. So here it is, a version of the 16th century traditional tune from England; Autumn Comes. A winter solstice gift from me to you.

Platemesse

tirill — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 21:23:39 +0000

Saturday 10th of December (soon, oh soon) I will show up together with Oslo Rockantikvariat (the most charming old record shop in Oslo), at their stand at NORGES CD- OG PLATEMESSE. I will be signing vinyls and cd’s from 10 am to 4 pm. There will be a nice “førjuls” – discount on the albums this day, which will definitely pay back the 40 kroner entrance fee. AND the hall will be filled with rare and beautiful vinyl and cds for you to explore.

Wanna hold it in your hands?

To give you a feeling of how the cover artworks look like (I am not huge fan of downloading digital albums myself; I still prefer the physical ones!) The albums are now available at Big Dipper (Torggata Platebar) and Oslo Rockantikvariat – for those of you who live in Oslo and prefer to shop from a real record store. The newest cd is also available for sale at Asker Bibliotek.

Our WEBSHOP is still the solution for internet purchases.

Day of the release..

tirill — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:18:22 +0000

..is here! And we want to celebrate it with this new video clip. The images are from Coole Park and other places relevant to Yeats’ life and work. The song is based upon the poem Before the World was Made, from The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933).

The web shop is now open for safe and easy purchase of the physical albums! For digital download, Amazon is the first one being on schedule!

We hope that you will enjoy the music!
