Mother

For over two decades Bjrke has cut his own path, as a solo artist and enthusiastic collaborator. Bjrkes Copenhagen home may be one of Europes great cultural hubs, but his music is distinctly international. Even a cursory listen exposes an impressive, ever-evolving career. Mother represents a quantum leap forward. Literally, when you consider the terrestrial shifts that informed it. Six compositions explore what the evolution of our planet sounds like. While Holst may have gotten there first, Mother singularly focuses on the orb where we reside, from its formation, to its likely conclusion. Other artists have tackled song cycles that parallel a day, a year, or even a lifetime. Mother spans a timeframe from 4.5 billion years ago up to humankinds impending demise. It hints at how that may be sooner than we think, as well as the earths resilience, and the promise of another chapter.
