Complete Mountain Almanac | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Many serendipitous moments have led to the creation of the musical project known as Complete Mountain Almanac. The first of these temporal alignments came at a chance meeting between two visionaries - Norwegian-born, Sweden-based singer and composer Rebekka Karijord and American-born, Italy-based poet, dancer, and multimedia artist Jessica Dessner. Jessica and Rebekka began collaborating, with Jessica providing poems and lyrics for Rebekka to compose music to. The album consists of twelve tracks, each named after a month of the year. Some have a meditative, almost hypnotic quality, using Jessica's words as healing mantras. Sonically, the album cycles through folk, classical, chamber music and everything in between, creating a cocoon-like atmosphere that draws the listener into a stand-alone universe. It's a marriage of the inner and outer worlds, illness and rejuvenation, grief and joy.
