- Tredje CD fra denne musikalsk geniale og nyskabende trio

Et af de nye og mest strålende lys i dansk folkemusik i dag er Trio Mio, et band med sin helt specielle stil af elegant og energisk kontemporær folkemusik.

- 3 talentfulde musikere: Kristine Heebøll (violin), Nikolaj Busk (klaver, harmonika) og Jens Ulvsand (bouzouki, guitar).

De tre har sammen opbygget en utrolig kontakt på scenen og skabt et åbent musikalsk univers som forplanter sig i kroppen på lytteren.
Trio Mio har i den grad bevist at dansk folkemusik stadig er sprudlende og i høj grad levende.

De fandt sammen i 2004 med udgivelsen af debutalbummet ”Trio Mio”. I 2005 indspillede de deres andet album – Pigeon Folk Pieces
GO0805 -  som blev belønnet med 2 Danish Music Awards.
I 2006 blev de sammen med 7 andre orkestre håndplukket til at repræsentere dansk folkemusik internationalt i projektet ”Danish Roots”. Trio Mio har spillet i hele Danmark, turneret i Irland, England, Tyskland, Holland, Italien og Sverige. - Nu foreligger deres nye CD,

MUSIKKEN
I hjertet af Trio Mio´s musik ligger et brændende ønske om at give nyt liv til dansk/svensk folkemusik. De spiller musikken på deres egen måde, gør den til nutidig musik som bibeholder dyb respekt for den tradition hvoraf musikken er rundet.
Resultatet er ny, forfriskende og helt særegen: kontemporær folkemusik skabt fra det specielle punkt hvor traditionen møder nutiden og lader sig inspirere af andre stilarter som jazz og klassisk. Man er aldrig helt sikker på hvad der skal ske: Smukke, rolige og luftige melodier bliver afløst af hurtige, uforudsigelige og til tider vilde improvisationer. Men sikkert er det, at musikken spilles med intensitet, virtuositet og glæde, som efterlader lytteren åndeløs – og smilende.

A very rare bird I've seen twice, 99 in Gambia, 02 at my house. Was it the same bird?

The Danish and the Swedish languages are very similar, yet sometimes we really pick the wrong word...right!

12. Den sidste - Nikolaj Busk
"The last one" is a tune, written late at night when I had one of these "writing-new-tunesnights".
After composing 7 tunes I decided to write one more before going to bed and this is the one.

13. Anglaise - Keld Nørgaard
We got this tune from Keld just before a concert we played together with Lang Linken, a great band that Keld has played with for over 25 years. After that concert we just play this tune again and again.

En nyskabelse på den danske folk scene

Med albummet Trio Mio er den konservatorieuddannede violinist Kristine Heebøll sprunget ud som nyskabende solodebutant, violinist og komponist.

Kristine Heebøll er kendt på den danske folkemusikscene fra bl.a. orkestret Phønix, duoen HeebøllVinther og mange andre tiltag i genren.
Nu er hun gået solo - i tæt samarbejde med to meget spændende musikere : Jens Ulvsand guitar/bouzouki, (mangeårige drivkraft i det svenske folkrockband Åvadå) og den helt unge talentfulde og medrivende danske Nikolaj Busk, piano/harmonika.

Materialet på denne debut-cd er en række af hendes inciterende og medrivende kompositioner.

En enkelt komposition er skrevet til strygekvartet og sang.

Hendes kompositioner er instrumentalt musik i brændpunktet mellem folkemusik, jazz og klassisk.
Disse tre beslægtede genrer er mest hørt hver for sig, men ved en kombination opstår noget unikt;
"- som lyset på vore breddegrader. Tonen er på samme tid luftig og jordnær - dans såvel til fordybelse...Let og tung...Let som en sommernat, tung som en vintermorgen.
Og lys som begge...

Trio Mio:

Kristine Heebøll - violin
Jens Ulvsand - guitar, bouzouki
Nikolaj Busk - klaver, harmonika

+ gæstemusikere, Rune Sørensen - viola(#5, 8); Mette Spang-Hanssen - Cello(#5, 8); Hal Parfitt-Murray - violin (#5, 8); Jesper Falch - percussion (#4, 11); Julie Maria Larsen - vocal (#12)
