David Tibet

"as if WHEN's "the black death" was vacationing on the north ice cap"
Gylve Fenris Nagell

Fjær og Jern is a collection of some of Hornorkesterets best tracks and a great introduction to the band. It features arctic mood music performed on reindeer antler instruments, field recordings, and some fab guests including a recording of the voice of Fridtjof Nansen himself.

The single just got a very positive review from Frans de Waard in VITAL WEEKLY#36
Hornorkesteret is a contemporary music group who uses instrument inventions such as stringed and bowed antlers, bones, ice, coffeepots, rocks, and various woods together with vocals, flutes, drums and field recordings, creating an epic music touching on subjects like polar exploration, ecology, the cyclic forces in nature, animal urges, and the norwegian mental and physical climate. Using spoken word, free improvisation, noise, folk, blues, drones and even rock'n'roll, they have performed in concerts, at gallery performances, in theatrical productions and on studio recordings with varying line-ups since established by Jonas Qvale in 1999.
