Sounds, tones and lyrics of this album are inspired by the Icelandic classic "Aðventa" by Gunnar Gunnarsson, a saga about friendship, reliability, trust and harmony with nature. Every year in the dark and icy December, the farmhand Benedict, his dog Leo and the bellwether Eitill wander through the Icelandic high mountains to find lost sheep and save them from frostbite or starvation. Joachim Badenhorst & Mogil create a musical audio film about Nordic landscapes, ice, snow, cold, isolation, winds, elemental forces, finiteness, but also intimacy, friendship, warmth, silence, hope and dreams. Mogil is an Icelandic-Belgian ensemble whose music blends contemporary classical, folk, jazz, minimal and post-rock into it's own universe. The world of Mogil is atmospheric, intimate and mysterious. Voices and instruments combine to form a unity. The tension between the crystal clear soprano of Heiða Árnadottir and the contemporary instrumentation without percussion and double bass creates a characteristic sound, but not only through the timbre of the instruments, the interaction of voice, clarinet, violin, guitar, trumpet and keyboards, but especially through the individual playing art of the musicians Mogil convinces with her very own style.
