Hildring. The third of three albums by the Norwegian synth-duo Langsomt Mot Nord. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Langsomt Mot Nord is a Norwegian synth-duo, founded by rock-drummer Ola Snortheim. The music of Langsomt Mot Nord (LMN) is derived from Norwegian traditional music. Many of the recordings are based upon older recordings of traditional tunes, performed on original instruments by Ola Snortheim's father, the folk-musician Olav Snortheim. The music is accentuated and arranged in new ways by extensive use of electronic instruments like synthesizers and samplers. However, the band also takes the traditional music in new directions by the use of acoustic instruments, such as strings, piano and woodwind.

The langeleik, also called langleik, is a Norwegian stringed folklore musical instrument, a droned zither.
A Hardanger fiddle is a traditional stringed instrument used originally to play the music of Norway. In modern designs, this type of fiddle is very similar to the violin, though with eight or nine strings and thinner wood. Four of the strings are strung and played like a violin, while the rest, aptly named understrings or sympathetic strings, resonate under the influence of the other four.
Producers: Snortheim/Holm.
