Collaboration Gert Keunen & Sarah Green

Is this the start of something beautiful?

'Havn (Silence)' and 'Rising Sun (Sognefjord) are vocal versions of the previously released instrumental tracks 'Havn' and 'Sognefjord'. Cinematic music and a haunting, emotional vocal: it's a combination made in heaven. I always dreamt about an angelic voice that could lift my instrumental 'nordic noir' music to a higher level. Enter Sarah Green (Glitterpaard, ex-Portland). She immediately felt what I was aiming for, and filled in the blanks. Her lyrics capture the feeling I put in my music. Emotionally, we are soulmates, as it turns out. The start of a long-term side project.

Sarah Green about our collaboration: 'For me, it felt very natural to create the vocal line and lyrics. I closed my eyes to immerse myself in the atmosphere of the original song. There was a familiar feeling, a safe haven to find inner peace, becoming one with nature, emptiness, a space to experiment with singing, and to let silence fall.'

Silence brings me back; Silence is all I need…

'Havn (Silence)' and 'Rising Sun (Sogefjord) are available on all streaming platforms ('Rising Sun' is also released in Dolby Atmos!).
