New artist on Adrian Recordings – Edda Magnason

2010-04-20 After releasing her self-titled debut album on Caprice Records, Edda Magnason is now entering the family of Adrian Recordings. Her second album will be recorded and produced by Christoffer Lundqvist at his AGM Studio in November 2010.

Pianist, singer and songwriter Edda Magnason grew up in the countryside in southern Sweden with her mother, siblings and stepfather. Her father comes, as her name suggests, from Iceland, where he works as a vet in a small town 400 miles from Reykjavik.

When Edda realized that she didn’t have to distinguish between pop songs and instrumental classical music, her own colorful music really started to grow. Early field recordings of instrumental layered music combined with the classical background creates a very unique blend. There is a deft freshness in the melodies that makes them sound accessible and easily played even if they probably would be perceived as difficult if another musician attempted them. The music presents a seamless blend of jazz, pop, folk, and classical. Some lyrics tell a story, others are more impressionistic and suggest her enthusiasm for haiku poems. Some of the pieces are completely instrumental, moments where she feels absolute freedom from all music genres.

To celebrate Eddas and Adrians collaboration we are inviting you to a concert in Malmö at venue Babel May 13th. Come and listen to the future!
