Edition of 300. Some time ago, Lennart Heyndels sought refuge in modular synthesis after injury prevented him from playing the double bass. In 2019 he continued this research into the physics of sound in a small hut in Norway and came back with this album. Recorded at EMS Stockholm and realized during a residency in the Norwegian countryside, the title of the album refers to the Hallingdal region, as well as the local traditional dance 'Halling' (in which the main goal for the dancer is to kick a hat off a stick while doing a somersault... yes you can youtube that). While residing at Leveld Kunstnartun he recorded sounds from the environment and fused them with his modular synthesizer, making it almost impossible at times to distinguish one from the other. Besides bird and forest sounds the album also includes the sound of an antique sewing machine that happened to be around at the time. Halling is an exploration in combining acoustic and electronic elements and a search for an organic electronic music.
