About

Two songs were specially composed for the album (Rejoice & Home) whilst a third (Wilderswood) was re-worked to include a bridge section. The other seven songs that make up the album were already written - some, several years before.

The album is unusual in that it crosses many genres - pop, classical crossover, electro-folk & World.

Trond Teigen is well known in Norway for countless starring roles in musical theatre and for his numerous television, radio & concert appearances. He’s voiced feature films for Disney, Fox, Amblin, Goldcrest, Pixar, Jim Henson and Dreamworks and played a regular part in the popular Norwegian sitcom series Holms
