The extraordinary story of the first two women to cross Antarctica

Digital Prophecy traces a journey from Tunisia's heat to Norway's cool. Across this distance an affinity is discernible in the shared outspokenness of expression of both musical cultures. This recording may also be viewed as the latest in an ongoing dialogue between Norway and the rest of the world; Nils Petter Molvaer's trumpet sound has long seemed like a soft muezzin call, Eivind Aarset's guitar like a keening djinn, Arve Henriksen's trumpet shakuhachi-like and so on. Another lineage may be traced from here back to Marilyn Mazur's groups and thence to Jan Garbarek's outernational explorations.

We've got a number of talented Norwegian composers to arrange well-known and lesser-known Christmas songs - there are a total of 11 new arrangements for male choirs! "I signet juletid" offers a beautiful and powerful male cross slang with a warm tone, rich harmonies and precise rhythms. The album includes the most traditional Christmas carols, but also modern classics. It is both solemn and traditional at the same time as it is hearty and relaxed!
