Debut album fra danske folkemusikveteraner

Sonnich Lydom (mundharpe, diatoniske harmonika) og Morten Alfred Høirup (guitar, sang) er begge veteraner på den danske folkemusikscene. De har hver for sig rejst i store dele af verden med deres musik (ULC, Haugaard & Høirup), udgivet en lang række albums og modtaget i alt 9 Danish Music Awards.

Nu udgiver de deres første album sammen, nemlig SVIP SVAP SVOVLSTIKKE (GO 0510), opkaldt efter en smuk gammel dansemelodi fra Fanø.

SVIP SVAP SVOVLSTIKKE indeholder 10 instrumentale skæringer, og 3 sange. De gamle kompositioner på albummet har Lydom fundet i gamle nodesamlinger bl.a. i Dansk Folkemindesamlings arkiver, og det er fantastisk musik som aldrig før har været indspillet endsige udgivet. Albummet indeholder desuden 3 melodier komponeret af Høirup (Årets Danske Folk Komponist 2004), og 3 danske sange hvoraf den ene har ny musik af Lydom.

Sonnich Lydom spiller på henholdsvis 1- og 2 radet diatonisk harmonika og blues- og tremolomundharper og Morten Alfred Høirup synger og spiller på guitarer stemt henholdsvis i DADF#AD og EADGBE. På albummet medvirker gode venner og kolleger fra Danmark, Finland og USA, folk som sangerinden Channe Nussbaum (DK), violinisten Ruthie Dornfeld (USA), jødeharpenisten Tarpani Varis (SF), violinisten Peter Gorm Sørensen (DK) m.fl.

Debut Album from Danish Folk Music Masters
Sonnich Lydom & Morten Alfred Høirup – folk music from Denmark

Sonnich Lydom and Morten Alfred Høirup are thrilled to announce the March 1, '10 release of their debut album together, Svip Svap Svovlstikke, on the GO! Danish Folk Music label (GO 0110).

Lydom and Høirup, both veteran performers on the Danish folk scene, have each traveled the world with their music (ULC, Haugaard & Høirup a.m.o.),, recorded a number of albums and received all in all nine Danish Music Awards (the Danish equivalent of ’Grammys’). On Svip Svap Svovlstikke, Sonnich Lydom plays 1 and 2 row diatonic accordion as well as blues and tremolo harmonica; Morten Alfred Høirup sings and plays guitar in standard and open tunings.

The album is named for a beautiful old dance tune from the small Danish island of Fanø. Lydom culled much of the music on the album from old tune collections and from archives at the Danish Institute of Folklore (www.dafos.dk) This fantastic music has never before been recorded or published. Also on the album are three tunes composed by Høirup, who was named Danish Folk Music Composer of the Year in 2004, and three Danish songs, one of which has music by Lydom. Joining the duo are good friends and colleagues from Denmark, Finland and the USA: Danish klezmer queen Channe Nussbaum on vocals, American fiddler Ruthie Dornfeld, Finnish jews harpist Tapani Varis and Danish fiddler Peter Gorm Sørensen, amongst others.
