Super excited to announce the new live album by YODOK III is set to be released on Belgium’ CONSOULING SOUNDS on September 19th. Pre-order for this cd are now possible here. Definitely check out the album teaser and embrace yourself in the devastating beauty of YODOK III’s realm.
At the heart of Trondheim rises Nidarosdomen: Scandinavia’s great cathedral, the northernmost Gothic monument of the Middle Ages, built upon the resting place of Saint Olav. Within its stone walls breathes the colossal Steinmeyer organ, 9,600 pipes of air and thunder. A space made not only for prayer, but for ritual.
When YODOK III was invited to perform in this sacred colossus, the idea of summoning Petra Bjørkhaug to the Steinmeyer organ arrived like an inevitability. To let the cathedral itself speak through her hands, to allow its immensity to swell and entwine with YODOK III’s shifting tides of sound.
This album is the document of that night. An audience seated sideways beneath vaulted arches — for no one may turn their back on the cross — witnessed a music that slowly transfigured. YODOK III became something more, something larger: a dialogue between trio, organ, and cathedral. It is a testament not only to sound, but to presence, reverberation, and the living breath of Nidarosdomen itself.
