Adam Forkelid - 1st Movement (2021) Hi Res

Forkelid's compositions feature Chopin, Chick Corea, Bill Frisell and Weather Report

Adam Forkelid's new band 1st Movement are up to date with their debut album this autumn. The music, composed by Adam, weaves together a variety of influences, with features from everything from Satie and Chopin, via Chick Corea and Bill Frisell, to Weather Report and Brazilian music. The result is an emotional and varied music, with a large and own group sound, not least thanks to Carl Mörner Ringström's broad guitar landscape. He is an internationally renowned guitarist who masters the entire register from the simplest melodies to burning rock and fusion. Niklas Fernqvist and Daniel Fredriksson are one of the strongest and most frequently hired rhythm sections and in this group they are given space to fly freely and take new paths. Since his debut with the album "Cirkel" in 2005, Adam has been one of the country's most prominent pianists and composers and part of groups such as Lekverk, Soundscape Orchestra, PACE, Georg Riedel Secret Song, Svante Söderqvist Trio and Norrbotten Big Band, but is also heard in international contexts , as a European tour this fall with Brazilian shooting star guitarist Pedro Martins.
