Veien is the recording name of Norwegian musician and visual artist Viktor Pedersen. “Tilbake til den skinnende skogen” is his debut album. Recorded during the winter in northern Norway. The album is made almost exclusively of flute recordings, either dry or heavily processed. Together it weaves an hypnotic and sparse electroacoustic soundscape that is at times sorrowful or meditative. Inspired by the ecological strain on the environment, as well as a longing to reconnect with the non human. “Tilbake til den skinnende skogen” is a dreamy journey through the forests, caves and cathedrals of inner and outer nature.
