Sarah Camille won the Spellemann Music Award for the children's-record genre last year. With her new album she is now addressing an adult audience, and her songs have their finger on the pulse of our times. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur movements on earth are like a slow dance around the planet. We settle down for some generations, form a family, a tribe, a people, and then we move across an ocean or a savannah to find new places with better living conditions. Our predecessors have done this, and many others are doing this in our world today as the circumstances around us change. And sometimes people who belong together must go their separate ways. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSarah Camille's new album \"Vingeslag\" reflects on life in a time where the slow dance around the globe is picking up speed. Asking whether our shoulder blades once were wings that bore us across oceans, she questions how some of is can be so provoked by minor differences, such as skin colour, when the work of creation is so grand and so magnificent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSarah's musical style moves in the borderland between popular song, folk and world music. Her expressive voice conveys the beautiful melodies and rich lyrics mellifluously in a transparent and minimalist soundscape. In the band you will hear the percussionist Sidiki Camara, one of Mali's leading drummers, now residing in Norway. On fiddle we hear Selma French Bolstad (known from the band \u003cem\u003eMorgonrode\u003c\/em\u003e), and on guitars and bass: Jørn Erik Halsen Alkanger. The musicians also provide backup vocals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the songs on the album reflect in various ways the idea of wings beating, a broad and active concept that can embrace so many things. Many of the songs use the bird's eye view to depict a world of contrasts, although the album also focuses on the intimate and personal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSarah has family in many places far from Norway. She has long felt this distance and the sorrow of having those dearest to her so far away. When the pandemic hit, this distance was amplified, a  reality that so many of us had to relate to. The idea of beating wings embraces all these long geographical distances. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe songs also include narratives about the chid. Sarah reaches back to her inner child, and writes about meeting her own children, the parental role, love, chaos and the bustling world of freedom and obligations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis album is produced by Erik Hillestad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack list:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

We had had our first real misunderstanding. We had cried together for the first time. Walking home from the sewing club I thought about how incredibly terrifying it is to be fond of or love somebody. Putting oneself in a situation where you could get hurt. To become engaged in your local community. Moving to a small community. And while I was walking home I looked at the fjord, which the Drammen river flows into. It was flowing past me. And there and then “The River” was born.

At about the same time Sigurd Osberg and Holm W Holmsen started the choir Crossing in Asker (town near Oslo) based on the same pattern (they had attended the Up with People show in Njårdhallen in Oslo in 1966), but while Ten Sing in Bergen presented an entertainment show with “meaningful songs”, the Crossing put “rhythmic hymns” on their repertoire. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Norwegian YMCA and YWCA then started “planting” Ten Sing choirs across the country.

The choirs and bands were to be led by the youths themselves (with skilled guidance and courses given by leaders). Young people just into their teens were given artistic leadership responsibilities. Aided by resources provided by the Lutheran Evangelical Church of Norway (the state church) the youths had access to instruments, practice venues and equipment, and enjoyed the trust of artists and composers. This is how Ten Sing and the marching band movement became perhaps the most influential and important recruiting grounds for Norwegian singers and musicians over the last 50 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKKV has had the pleasure of producing an anniversary album featuring ten artists with Ten Sing backgrounds.

But…nobody tells Rim what she can or cannot do. Rim met in Oslo with her Norwegian producer Erik Hillestad (KKV record label) and Tunisian sound cutter “SC MoCha” from the electronic activist collective Checkpoint 303. Together they came up with a plan for an unprecedented audio experiment; Checkpoint 303 would remix data from Rim’s medical files (PET and X-ray images) by converting them into sounds to which Rim would then recite (and whenever possible sing) her own poems describing her resistance and her struggle. The outstanding jazz pianist Bugge Wesseltoft, who collaborated with Rim on her last album, immediately accepted to be part of the project and the adventure began.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe album\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 15 songs on this album are an explosive mix of iron-willed and moving spoken word, experimental sound art, complex beats and powerful provocative and heart-warming piano melodies.

This process known as “\u003ci\u003edata sonification”\u003c\/i\u003e was programmed by Checkpoint 303 and applied to medical data chosen by Rim. The data was recorded as part of the medical diagnostic procedures that Rim underwent using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computer Tomography scans (X-ray measurements). The scans used included cross-sectional images of Rim’s chest, heart, brain and throat. Checkpoint 303 converted these images into sound either by direct sonification of image pixel values into an audible spectrum, or by converting the images into 2D midi files. Additionally, two portrait images of Rim were also transformed to sound using the same procedure. Finally, the ambient layer in the last song of the album was constructed using the actual sound of the image-guided radiation system recorded on video during one of Rim’s radiotherapy sessions in a hospital in Berlin in 2016.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eMore information:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eRim Banna. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNothing stops Rim.
