Yggdrasil is the exploration of the co dependence of humans and nature. As humans we sometimes work with nature and sometimes work against it.
I have used this ethos for composing music for Yggdrasil, taken field recordings from various woodlands and the North sea coast. I compose piano pieces and and mix the two, sometimes heavily manipulating the sounds, sometimes leaving them as they are.
