Tidskapsel#1 by Anders Lønne Grønseth

Anders Lønne Grønseth presents Tidskapsel#1, the fifth release from his group Multiverse. Expanding the regular line-up of distinguished musicians from the Norwegian and Icelandic music scenes, the album introduces classical harpist Sidsel Walstad to the line-up.

Tidskapsel#1 (Norwegian for “Time Capsule No. 1”) revolves around the
concept of time. Each composition and improvisation delves into aspects such as duration, development, repetition, pace, pulse, rhythmic layering, and shifts between cyclic and linear motion.

The ensemble’s profound interplay reflects years of collaboration and
dedicated exploration of Grønseth’s musical ideas — particularly his
theories on tonality (The Bitonal Scale System) and his guiding
principle of structured freedom: Improvisations are part of the composition, and the soloist is part of the collective.

The CD is available as a Limited Edition of 120 signed and individually numbered copies, featuring Grønseth’s prose reflections on the connection between music and time, as well as analytical insights into the theoretical ideas behind the work.

"Tidskapsel#1" is an album characterized by ambition, introspection, and artistic integrity — balancing reflection and spontaneity, structure and freedom, individuality and communality.
