InfluencesEliksir is influenced by a lot of different styles, for example progressive rock, jazz, traditional music from Norway, Ireland and Arabic countries. Artists that she admires and has collected inspiration from over the years are - among others - early Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Sting, Police, Beatles, Renaissance, Yellowjackets, Clannad, Sade Adu, Bel Canto, Breandan Hara, Mary Black, Afro Celt Sound System, Jethro Tull, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Loreena McKennitt and many many many more... ON AIR: Eliksir visited SKY Cuetracks in the UK in August 2008 - presenting award winning song & video "Fairytale" - shown daily on RedTV alongside Coldplay and other great artists and bands. ELIKSIR WON UK EXPOSURE MUSIC AWARD Nominated in for "Harbour Song" (Best International) and for "Fairytale" (Best Video) - and Eliksir won the latter. A jury consisting of Music Industry Professionals, including Grammy Winning Producers assessed song combined with images, and chose Elin (Eliksir) from small-town northern Norway. She was in Cheltenham to receive the award May 31. She also presented the "Best Out Of Area" award. She is happy she went to the UK for this award arrangement, as she got to hear a lot of other interesting upcoming bands and artists, and probably also met some friends for life. In December 2008 Elin took a detour from Eliksir, performing a jazz concert in the Arctic city of Tromso with local professional jazz musicians. This gave her the opportunity to rearrange some of the Eliksir material into a more jazz-tinged sound. The musicians she worked with here were: Konrad Kaspersen (double bass), Kurt Samuelsen (piano) and Trond-Sverre Hansen (drums).

   About Eliksir
Songwriter and vocalist of Eliksir (Elin Synnøve Bråthen) evolved the project in 2003/04 creating songs mixing elements of pop, rock, jazz and world - a potion of contemporary nostalgia. She put together a band of musicians of which Hilmar, Glenn and Trygve have stuck by her since the beginning, since 2005 also involving guitarist Haldor. The lyrics are spun from her dreams; personal and fairtale-like. Playing concerts in the south and later in the north of Norway during the past years Eliksir has collected overwhelming reviews. In fall 2004 Eliksir involved Øystein Sevåg at Siddhartha Records as producer and started recording 5 tracks for an EP in Kristiansand. Enthusiatically about the songs, producer Sevåg convinced the Eliksir-members that they were making a full-length album, not just an EP. The project was moved to Musikkloftet Studio in Oslo, where they continued recording. The mix of the eclectic track "Harbour Song" was done at Fersk Lyd AS in Oslo, challenging Mr. Giert Claussen to make use of all his mixing skills. The album "Earthly Things" was launched with a concert at Herr Nilsen in Oslo on the 25th of April 2007, and distributed to Norwegian shops by Musikkoperatørene. The Eliksir-album is also available on iTunes. Eliksir will be working towards licensing and distribution abroad. The track "Feel It" is included on a UK compilation "Chaos & Glory" as a follow-up of Eliksir winning the EMA UK 2008 for best video. At the moment songsmith and vocalist Elin has gathered the band and again joined forces with producer Øystein Sevåg, the next Eliksir-album is in the making. Recording sessions will run through February and March 2009. Planned release is August 2009. Broken Windows Photos for cover & booklet are done by Pedro M. Pereira; recording studio shots by Kristel Jensen; studio portray, forest photos and cover photo for the 2008 licensed version of "Earhtly Things" by Caroline Roka; live photos from release concert by Astrid Lunke & Tone Hagen. Black & White photos and pics from park by Silje Sivertsen. Music video for "Fairytale" by: Harald Sandø (See photos from film-shoot, more photos and info at websites: www.sevag.com / www.eliksir.org) Butterfly dream Eliksir at music trades in 2007 & 2008: Eliksir attended Midem in Cannes and Popkomm in Berlin; meeting contacts in the world's music business has paved way to launch Eliksir on different international markets: Southeast Asia, the UK, Germany & Switzerland. More news and updates will be posted at www.eliksir.org. Thoughtful In the time to come Eliksir will also be combining her artist career working on her Ph.D (a popular music science project researching metaphors in communication between collaborators in working on her own music recording and performance projects). The doctorate program is given at the University of Agder, but Eliksir will be based in Oslo and the UK while doing research and writing the doctorate dissertation.

Hi Elin,
long time not seen. How are you? Have been in Mallorca for the Karate Earthcamp last week. Four hours training each day and a lovely behind the scenes story. I tried to work it out with my comments on the fotos in my gallery.
Enjoy.
PS: I gave one of your signed CDs to Gerd R. Hope it helps a bit.

Hey Eliksir!
Come take a ride on a rocket ship with me to the outer reaches of the cosmos. We can take the time to look around and find out all the great and magical things about Einstein and physics and the world we live in.
