Lost in Translation

Photography 101: Mystery

Today’s music comes from Oslo, from the remarkable young composer Peder B. Helland. At only 19 years of age, this Norwegian artist, has already written an  impressive opus of instrumental music ranging from dark, suspense, to emotional melodies and relaxing soundscapes featuring a variety of instruments like piano, cello, violin, bagpipe and many more.

Meeting a talent like Peder’s is not an every day occurrence, and I have to share the enthusiasm and inspiration I find in his work.

    It’s safe to say that you really surprised me today with music from Oslo! I listened to a few seconds (I’m at work, so I just skipped around in the song) and I like the spooky, dark, sad kind of music. Fits excellent with your wonderful photo.

      😀 Hello CG, it seems that you are not the only talent coming from Oslo 😉 Peder is extraordinarily gifted (imho) and seems like a really nice boy too; plus he is teaching people Norwegian for free on his Google+.

        It’s cool that he’s teaching people Norwegian from free. Reminds me of someone I know that teaches people Portugese for free through her blog!

    Mysterious, and perhaps a bit haunting. The shadow and light definitely gives the photo a dramatic feel.

      I definitely saw haunting 🙂 The sky was as in the photo, (there was no need for editing) I felt as if on another planet, and yet I was hardly 800 km eastern from my place 😀 Thank you, Jeff 😉

    Paula, se in quella misteriosa casa stai organizzando qualche strana festa, ricordati di mandarmi l”invito 🙂
    Le luci donano alla facciata un’atmosfera un po’ sinistra e ancor più sinistri sembrano quegli alberi inchinati, anzi quasi sottomessi a questa casa del mistero 🙂

    Paula I will have to wait for the music as I am replying on my iPhone which does not play or show the audio file as it does on the computer. Your photo with it’s gorgeous night time reflections fits the theme perfectly.

    What a fabulous idea to combine your photo with a piece of music. They compliment each other perfectly. I often listen to classical pieces when I’m writing, I will look into this composer!

      🙂 🙂 It is a weird expensive hotel with even weirder guests, that played awful music during the day, during a wedding celebration, but at night – more specifically that particular night I saw a scene from a potential horror/mystery movie 😉 (shot in Slovakia)
