Idenstam- Lofoten Meditations
In 2019 the Swedish organist and composer Gunnar Idenstam was commissioned to provide the music to a film, The Vegan Toothbrush, by the Norwegian film-maker Trygve Luktvasslimo, which takes seriously the issue of climate change itself but satirises the quasi-religious intensity of climate activists. Idenstam is one of the few remaining organists who maintain the centuries-old tradition of improvisation at the console, and his extemporisations for the film, all of which are concerned with water, developed into a kind of powerfully atmospheric sea symphony.
Tracklist:
- Prelude [01:38]
- Chorale Theme: I [02:54]
- Water Vortex [00:51]
- Water Landscapes [03:25]
- Poem I [19:28]
- Chorale Theme: II [05:43]
- Poem II [19:13]
- Scandinavian Air: A Meditative [03:45]
- Bubbles [01:15] 1
- Chorale Theme: III [02:10] 1
- Hymn [03:35]
