   About Susanna And The Magical Orchestra

Love Will Tear Us Apart Video

..

Susanna And The Magical Orchestra is in fact a duo with keyboardplayer Morten Qvenild and singer Susanna Karolina Wallumrød. (Morten is a former member of Jaga Jazzist and Shining, he quitted to concentrate on this duo and his own trio called In The Country. Their debut-album was released in Norway in February 2004, and some time later in Europe and in Japan, and received very good critics around the world. List of lights and buoys contains highly personal interpretations of Dolly Parton..s Jolene and Leonard Bernstein..s Who Am I as well as nine originals that show a suprising degree of maturity, especially considering the writers young age and the fact that they operate in a landscape that requires a good deal of songwriting skills to hold your attention. Susanna And The Magical Orchestra combines the availability of the traditional popmusic, the strictness of the electronica and the improvisation in the jazzmusic.

Melody Mountain is out in the stores now!

Singer Susanna Wallumrød has a unique way of making a song her own, and to fill the lyrics and melodies with the emotional content they require. This was made very clear with her stunning interpretation of Dolly Parton..s classic Jolene, recorded for the duo..s debut album List Of Lights and Buoys (2004). A song covered by many artists, but seldom with such heartfelt sincerity. With Melody Mountain they have chosen to do an album of only interpretations, some quite radical, of mostly well-known songs, all personal and moving performances with Morten Qvenild..s naked and to the bone playing an important part in the overall soundscape. Full track list includes Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen), It..s A Long Way To The Top (AC/DC), These Days (Matt Burt) "Condition Of The Heart" (Prince), "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (Joy Division), "Crazy, Crazy Nights" (Kiss), "Don..t Think Twice, It..s All Right" (Bob Dylan), "It..s Raining Today" (Scott Walker), "Enjoy The Silence" (Depeche Mode) and "Fotheringay" (Fairport Convention).

Dictionary definition of the word magical...
Boomcat US

Their astonishing, heartbreaking deconstruction of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" could keep you awake for days
Leeds Guide UK

For one thing, its fucking gorgeous.
Dustedmagazine.com US

It's an album of cover songs, and it's not the kind that coyly avoids well-known songs. On the contrary, "Melody Mountain" begins with Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," which has been sung by Jeff Buckley and many others. Ms. Wallumrod starts out quietly but not at all timidly, and her partner, Morten Qvenild, does almost nothing: his occasional chords could almost be reverberations of his partner's voice.

Dear Susanna And The Magical Orchestra,

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... sing & dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

We are connected

Estimada/o Susanna And The Magical Orchestra,

cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... cantamos y bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...

Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...

El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Estamos conectados...

Heei Susanna! Vet du, jeg er en skikkelig treging når det kommer til norsk musikk, så dette tror jeg er første gangen jeg har deg i ørene mine. Nylåta passer i alle fall ganske godt til humøret mitt. Hurra!
