Ellen Bødtker about "Once Upon a Summer": In August 2013, I travelled with Jan Erik Vold on the Japanese railway Schinkansen, reading haiku poems together. We were on a concert tour in the country, and looking out the window at the marvelous Japanese landscape passing by. I discovered a kinship between Jan Erik´s haiku poems and the harp´s Asian soundscape. It was during this journey the idea ofthis project was created. "Once upon a summer" is a musical and poetic journey through several continents with poetry as the leading track. Lyrics by Jan Erik Vold´s diverse universe enliven the ocean, summer, sea and people, and we are meeting the hermit Zuikan that is calling upon himself. I realized that by a glance at the Japanese villages seen passing by, they have much in common with the Norwegian scenery. The rare crew of harp, trumpet, percussion and voice crept forth among the poems. Musically, I have been inspired by a huge range of timbres, both Oriental and Norwegian as well as Jan Erik´s poetry. In light of all this wonderful material I have tried to find my own voice. Arve Henriksen´s unique trumpet sound portrays nature in itself, and Eirik Raude´s percussion palette is a universe of colors and sounds. This has been like a journey on a blistering wave with creative friends.
