Kaunan

KAUNAN is Oliver S. Tyr (Germany), Boris Koller (Austria) and Göran Hallmarken (Sweden). Oliver S. Tyr is the frontman of the well- known German folk band Faun. Boris Koller is a professional painter and composer who specializes in working with the old types of Nyckelharpa. Göran Hallmarken is one of the most outstanding hurdy-gurdy players on the Swedish folk and medieval music scene. After nine years of performing and collecting song material, KAUNAN will finally release their debut album entitled Forn through the Norwegian label BY NORSE MUSIC. The album Forn features contributions by leading guest musicians such as Einar Selvik (WARDRUNA), Maria Franz (HEILUNG and SONGLEIKR) and the Swedish percussionist Dhani Åhlman. Accompanied by a booklet rich in illustrations, photos and background stories about the folklore traditions that lie behind the songs, FORN will open a new previously uncharted doorway into the world of the ancient north.
