Lasse Schjerning - Meets Pedro Martins & Frederico Heliodoro (2020) Hi Res

Lasse Schjerning’s new and ambitious debut EP is unique Nordic elegance, simplicity and minimalism in symbiosis with Brazilian romance, passion and saudade.
The trio explores the sonic universe between two cultures with great respect and passion for the music’s honesty. This intriguing encounter across borders is the culmination on an intense and stimulating musical stay in Berlin, where the trio met in spring 2018. They quickly found a connection and a curiosity for the deeper layers in the music.

“Pedro and Frederico have always been two of my favorite musicians and composers in the world and they have formed me musically and compositionally. Writing songs with them in mind is so motivating, inspiring and a constant learning process, “ Lasse Schjerning says.

The trio recorded the debut EP in Copenhagen as the culmination of a two week long tour in March 2019. Culled from ten originals written for this exact group, the album presents two originals by Lasse Schjerning, one by Frederico Heliodoro and one written by Brazilian guitarist and composer, Daniel Santiago.

Lasse Schjerning ends, “The process of making this music and EP is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever been a part of. I hope the listener can hear the honesty, the growing friendship and the pure joy that we experienced making this music. “
