Stein Urheim - Speilstillevariasjoner (2025)

Guitarist and composer Stein Urheim has been a prominent artist in the HUBRO catalog for more than ten years. In addition to releases under his own name, he has contributed to albums by Erlend Apneseth, Benedicte Maurseth, a duo with Jørgen Træen, and most recently, the critically acclaimed "Barefoot in Bryophyte" with Mari Kvien Brunvoll and Moskus.

On January 31st 2025, HUBRO will release "Speilstillevariasjoner". For these recordings, Urheim invited a group of highly distinctive musicians to collaborate, resulting in his most original and uncompromising album to date. The outcome is experienced as both poetic, atmospheric and mind-expanding.

The album stands out in Urheim’s catalog, but at the same time, it is a logical progression from the path his discography has been leading toward over time.

"What I immediately fell in love with about Urheim’s musical voice when we began our collaboration back in 2012, was its warm clarity, and how it organically blended influences from everything from blues to various types of world music and microtonal exploration," says HUBRO founder Andreas R. Meland.
"It was clear from day one that Stein is a hungry and open listener who is constantly engaged and seeking new inspiration. It has been a joy to follow his artistry so closely, and he has opened my ears to a lot of new music."
"Speilstillevariasjoner" is produced by Stein Urheim and Jørgen Træen.
