The latter, from Iran, lets the poet Rumi comment on the familiar Good Friday hymn “Naglet til et kors på jorden” [Near the cross was Mary weeping] and has composed the melody for the poem – “A Sigh from a Loving Heart”.

In combining our fidelity to the original hymns with improvisational progression, our aim has been to explore new spaces, depths and resistance. In an ambient and occasionally rhythmic landscape our artistic goal has been to expand the interpretations and make the already familiar music personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe collaboration \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ebetween\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Kristiansen and Vemøy has grown organically out of their work with the “Jacob masses” in \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKulturkirken Jakob\u003c\/i\u003e.
