About "Norn"
The word "Norn" derives from Norrœnn (Norwegian, Norse). Among modern languages, the Faroese and Icelandic are closest to it. Scandinavian languages, as well as Scandinavian cultures have been my passion for a long time and I decided to express it in my music.

Norn is an extincted language. The name may suggest the character of my music, which is a bit niche, a bit far back to the inspiration, but at the same time timeless, just as the elements of non existing norn dominate in modern Scandinavian languages. The development of music history can be compared to the evolution of languages. Details change, but the essance remains the same. And they draw inspiration from each other, constantly.

The whole album is a bit more modest in the cast compared to my previous album Between the Dusk of a Summer Night, but it is maintained in a similar style, that I try to explore even more. The CD features string quartet and me on the piano and modular synthetizers.
