After many years and many electronic music albums, Norway’s Erik Wøllo returns home, in a sense,
on Cloud of Strings. Created on an assemblage of acoustic guitars, his 14th Projekt
solo album sees Wøllo explore the instrument he first loved.

It’s an album of twelve melodic moods — an intimate collection showcasing a fresh perspective
on Wøllo’s artistic range and versatility. With reflections of his previous critically acclaimed guitar-
music albums — Guitar Nova (1998) and Blue Sky, Red Guitars (2004) — Wøllo imaginatively
combines intricate finger picking patterns and sweet-sounding themes with dreamy and enchan-
ting processing for a sparkling change of pace. Erik masterfully manipulates the strings with
elevated clouds of dulcet layered sound. It is musical spellwork driven by clear and resonant
acoustic melody.
