Kim Andre Rysstad - Timeglas

After the success with his previous album, 'Vegen', Norwegian vocalist Kim Andre Rysstad was inspired to write more music himself. With Hallgrim Brattberg on guitars and various string-instruments, Helge Lien on grand piano and Hakon Iversen as the producer, they had room to record with improvisation and explore the possibilities of each track. The result became 'Timeglas'.Kim grew up with traditional music around him, but doesn't hesitate to cross the genre boundaries. With his beautiful, sonorous voice, he conveys traditional songs as well as pop ballads with equal credibility.For many he's known for his participation in the Norwegian Eurovision (MGP), with the song S� vidunderlig, which also was A-listed for months on national Norwegian radio stations. His debut album was named 'Best Solo Album' at Folkelarm, and his second album 'Vegen' was nominated for the Norwegian Grammy awards
