Gunnar Andreas Berg - Snowdawn

Review by Petra Louhimies

Gunnar Andreas Berg's album Snowdawn is a captivating and atmospheric work of art. The album takes the listener on a journey through the winter landscapes of Norway, evoking a sense of tranquility and wonder with its ethereal soundscapes.

Berg's use of traditional Nordic instruments such as the Hardanger fiddle and the nyckelharpa adds a unique flavor to the album, creating a sense of authenticity and connection to the landscape. The album's title track, Snowdawn, is a standout piece, with its haunting melodies and hypnotic rhythms.

The album has a cinematic quality to it, with each track painting vivid pictures of snowy landscapes, icy fjords, and starry nights. The use of ambient sounds, such as the sound of snow crunching underfoot, adds to the immersive experience of the album.
