Dear Friends.
The title for my new coming album Turkis actually came to me through a car. I was walking on this small danish island Møn, thinking about what to call the album, and there it was. Parked by a private house. The exact car I played with obsessively as a kid. A Citroën ID 19 same model, same shape from 1963. And now, suddenly, for sale. I’d just received a tax refund. And it was turquoise.
I’m not a car enthusiast. I don’t drive it daily. But on Sundays, I’ll now pick up a good friend, go for lunch, take it into the woods. There’s something about that kind of trip—driving out into the blue, with no destination. If that is the premise, anything can happen. That’s how I feel about music too. Just take me with you. I hope you’ll want to come along.
That car—it’s not really about the car. But it’s a beautiful convergence of things. I’ve noticed, when you drive an old vintage car like that, people smile. They wave. I hadn’t seen that before. It’s opening something. Turkis is the color of horizons—where borders dissolve, and music can flow freely. That’s the space this album was created in. An open, borderless space. And yet, the music isn’t just floating melodies. There are layers. Decisions. Things I had to let go of, and things I had to stay with.
The whole album is available for Falgren Friends subscribers here on Sleeve only. It will be out on June 26th 2026. Sign up now if you want to hear it and help to support my work.
I want to share this piece with you recorded at a concert with my dear friend Paolo Russo at his jazzclub in Møn 14 days ago. The piece is called Petrichor, inspired by the earthy scent produced by the first rain falling to the ground. Enjoy!
