I find the darkness in december here in Norway both challenging and impressing - it has its own beauty , but also slows down our daily energy . This song is from the album Snow - with Helge Nysted on the largest Steinway Grand that was available. It is mixed and mastered my the genius Jan Erik Kongshaug in Rainbow Studio in Oslo . Recorded live wth magificent microphones and Manley preamps in a church with beautiful ambience .
