CD: dråm

The starting point of the music of the dråm duo is the interplay of the nyckelharpa with the harp. Swedish and medieval bagpipes provide the drone sounds, or simply: dråm. The following explanation can be found on Wikipedia: The musical practice of the drone is widespread throughout the world and can be found, for example, in Indian classical music, as well as in many European musical traditions. While the drone is used in most Asian musical cultures, for example, in Indian music, it is more of a lying tone, in which the melody creates a sense of distance without any functional harmonic significance, in European music the drone has become more of a harmonic device. This creates an interplay between consonant and dissonant sounds, which creates a particularly pronounced musical color.

The steady, constant basic tone hummed under the melody of bagpipes, hurdy-gurdies, and nyckelharpas was long out of fashion and led a miserable existence. However, recently the drone has made a comeback. It forms the basis of this CD and accompanies the music, the instruments, and the musicians themselves with its originality and infinite power.

The first CD by the two riksspelmen Anna Rynefors and Erik Ask-Upmark is not the first CD with traditional Swedish instrumental music, but the first in the performance of the duo Dråm. And it's well worth listening to.
