Swirling Flame by Elysian Fields
Australia’s only electric viola da gambist, Jenny Eriksson, returns with Swirling Flame, the third album from her genre-defying ensemble Elysian Fields, released on the pioneering Earshift Music label. A project born from recovery and renewal, Swirling Flame is a bold fusion of jazz, baroque, contemporary classical and folk influences—anchored by the haunting resonance of the rarely-heard electric viola da gamba.
