about

Vildhest (Wildhorse) (5:48) Take 2 of 2, D minor.
The guitar is tuned down a half tone with capo on 1st
fret. The two E strings are tuned into D. There is
another guitar that lies on the sofa next to me. It is
tuned in open D-minor. Its function is to contribute
something "outside". A sound that comes from a
secondary place whose purpose is to create some kind
of depth in the music. The harmonica is in D minor
based on a drone feel that combines and fuses tones,
melody and sounds together. Consonance - like the
mortar between the house's thousands of stones.
Initially it was intended as a "Alap" (introduction) to the actual "Vildhest", which was an
approx. 8 min. longer number. But the song was let
down due to the sound quality of the recording, as
well as my own doubts about its musical quality.
This is the "Vildhest" in the tension field in the
minutes before it disappears over the fields. Where
it`s going you have to figure out for yourself, but I'm
sure, that one of the first things it does is throwing
it`s shoes Away. Only there it can be really free. To
me, "Vildhest” expresses something originally where
the silence is broken from a silent place. Like a
yellow line on a canvas. And at the same time, it is
all very fragile, where it can fall in a broken second
and break. And just falling apart is pervasive for the
whole improvisation. It gathers and dissolves. Split
ads and put together. "The wild" and "the
domesticated" (the cultivated) are bought on all
heads and edges, like the wild horse that is free only
because others are not.
