SYM

Buy SYM album Symbiosis here: Anne Hytta, Eléonore Billy and Clare Salaman first met in January 2007 with the intention of exploring the sound world of their remarkable instruments which all have sympathetic (resonating) strings. Each musician came to this first meeting with some musical ideas and by the end of the three-day collaboration SYM had been formed and plans for their debut CD were already in place. They play Norwegian hardanger violins, Swedish nyckelharpas and the hurdy gurdy, creating a vibrant, resonant sound world. Through sharing their rich and varied musical experiences as well as their own cultural perspectives, they have created a repertoire of original music, grounded in the traditional music of Northern Europe and ScandinaviaPhotos by Brian Jones and Jan Lothe Eriksen/Riksscenen
