荒芜的海岸线上，赤裸裸的巨石，湿漉漉的苔藓，更远处，是灰蒙蒙的天边，山峦的阴影与浓雾吻合，交错其间......此情此景，都令我回忆起去往南迦巴瓦峰的山路上，所见到的景观。阴阳界，气候万千，空灵的大自然保留给我们心灵以每一次感动的机会，尽管洁白的阳光还紧紧地遮蔽在穹隆之下，那些晦暗的星光已经在闪烁着泪花。
奇怪的是，那处孕育了雅鲁藏布江大拐弯的土地上也捧着一块巨石（具体而言，关于这个绕有趣味的景点图片我已经遗失：这是一块孤独的石头，比纳木措湖畔那对著名的磐石更加勾人魂魄，仿佛天外来客为异世情缘所遗留的见证物），或者说是传说中的情侣石，干枯的树干从中劈裂，苍绿的枝叶，繁密的根像是两片坚硬硕壮的体块籍此互相吸吮的触手，是热恋还是彼此折磨？或者是忠贞不渝还是造物弄人呢？不得而知。
闲话太多。但聆听挪威萨克斯芬作曲家Karl Seglem的《New North》也应当怀着这份向平淡而感恩的思愫，为了那些日积月累的坚持替岁月铺上的幽雅霞光而暗自庆贺。试图捕捉一阵隐隐作痛的挪威羊角号的吹奏，心水，安谧，除非你可以找到超越它们背后所代表的宁静的词汇，否则将无法撼动这涓涓道来的真诚。《Song For Two》呢喃起远古的悲伤，带着晨露似的清凉与一点微微的苦涩；还有《Edge》玲珑错杂又情感蠢动的细致编配，宛若朝向滚滚黑夜袒露身体的暗流，却不乏一丝展露生机的欲望......
Artist info：
Karl Seglem is described as one of the most exciting contemporary tenor saxophonists and composers in Norway. He has consistently extended musical frontiers with his original perspectives and daring improvisational style. He combines Norway's rich folk music traditions, both the vocal traditions and specially the Hardanger fiddle music, with his own mode of expression. Seglem creates modern soundscapes, a mix between jazz, folk, world, where improvisation and composition are given equal weight.
His saxophone tone blazes a fresh trail through his innovative use of breath, resonance and syncopation. Seglem also plays the Norwegian goat horns. His many CD recordings with different ensembles such as UTLA, SOGN-A-SONG and ISGLEM ranges across the entire spectrum from rooted folk to free form, and is inspired by deep Norwegian roots, via world beats to the poetic and dramatic Nordic landscape.He has composed and performed several works/pieces and has produced a number of CDs for mainly Norwegian, but also some Swedish artists.
He was awarded the EDVARD prize in 1998 for his work "Tya" (with R.Skår), and have received many other National and local prizes, grants and awards for his work.
Karl Seglem has toured Norway, Scandinavia and Germany, played in the UK, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Japan, Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Iceland, The Pharaoe Islands, USA among other countries.
