Jo David Meyer Lysne
Lysne is working on expanding the timbers of the guitar, and this opens up for doing new things within the traditional guitar/bass duo-format, and makes the duo take unexpected directions and presenting different soundscapes. Eilertsen is an experienced performer, with over 100 records. He is carrying Lysne´s compositions ín a unique way.

Through different moods and states of mind, the record brings the listener a story. The long run is as important as the small details.
