This first opus set in stone pieces was made for and by the stage. Following the success of this self-produced album&nbsp;which reached the top of album sales for a while after the band appeared on France 2 (in June&nbsp;2015, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Zygel\u2019s programme La Bo\u00eete \u00e0 Musique devoted quite a lot of time to the&nbsp;duet and their emblematic instrument, the nyckelharpa) among others, a remastered and&nbsp;extended edition called <strong>8<\/strong> including 4 new pieces was released in 2018 by Quart de lune \/ UVM.<\/p>\n<p>The album <strong>II<\/strong> (Quart de Lune\/ UVM) was conceived in a complete different manner. The theme of&nbsp;the raven was chosen as a symbol of pagan Nordic \/ Viking cultures and to serve as common&nbsp;thread for this new opus that holds 15 songs among which are 10 original compositions and 5&nbsp;rearranged traditional Swedish and Icelandic tunes.<\/p>\n<p>While the album <strong>Octantrion<\/strong> and its variation <strong>8<\/strong> were showcasing the timbres of the extraordinary&nbsp;instruments played by <strong>Eleonore Bill<\/strong>y (Swedish nyckelharpa, Norwegian hardingfele) and <strong>Gaedic&nbsp;Chambrier<\/strong> (Nordic bass cittern, mandocello, harp-guitar), with a light double bass&nbsp;accompaniment by Jean-Philippe Viret (winner of a victory for music in 2011 and a victory for Jazz&nbsp;in 2020) as well as by some percussions, much denser orchestrations can be found in the album II.&nbsp;Six other musicians took part in the album, and voices and singing can be heard in four pieces.<\/p>\n<p>After being acknowledged by great Scandinavian musicians and becoming the French reference&nbsp;of North-inspired music with <strong>Octantrion\/ 8<\/strong>, the duo devised and produced the album II so as to&nbsp;make it more accessible to the general public. The theme of the raven was chosen as a symbol of&nbsp;pagan Nordic\/ Viking cultures and to serve as common thread for the new opus. It holds 15 songs&nbsp;among which are 10 original compositions and 5 rearranged traditional Swedish and Icelandic&nbsp;tunes. Its melodies tick over in your mind and the pieces can be danced on and hummed, and&nbsp;take the listener on an escape journey to a dreamt North, a land of legends.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Octantrion will unveil their new album &#8220;II&#8221; on their release&nbsp;October 22, 2021 on Quart de Lune \/ UVM Distribution.
