Glimpses Review by
“Glimpses is one of those quality albums that will bring you instant peace and contentment, take this one for example, it’s called Manifold, here is a song that has passion, it has a sense of longing and an emotional yearning that will draw a tear from your eye. Scandinavia is musical painting that will graphically illustrate the location with a musical brushstroke, while the real opus on the album at just over twelve minutes is Dreaming. I have played this track several times now and each time I do so it moves me more and more. Dreaming creates space and pace as it manifests into a serenade of great quality and musicianship, it is undeniably smooth, patient and times even haunting. The penultimate track off the album is the mystical Angels are Watching, there is a delightful steady build in this piece that hovers like the mist across an early summer lake, the keys are so delicately played here, they create a sensitive frame of ambience for the listener. Glimpses is a clever title, Henrik Hytteballe is in a class all of his own and has created via The Haiku Project, one of the most stunningly beautiful albums that you will have heard for a long time. He has manifested a release that is deeply meaningful and so musically blissful, that you will never want the experience to end.” Steve Sheppard One World Music Radio / http://www.oneworldmusic.co.uk/#/album-reviews/4577256830

Glimpses by New album from The haiku Project
Described as “worldly and other worldly,” “a combination of music and art that meld together to produce eloquently gorgeous atmospheres and lush soundscapes,” The Haiku Project’s music reflects Hytteballe’s connection to the simple and beautiful art form of Japanese poetry, from which he took his name. “My intention with my compositions is to invite the listener into their own universe of reflection. I hope they will discover the unique layers of my music that speak to their own individual sensory experiences and at the same time, open them to a deeper landscape to explore empathy, love and honesty towards themselves and others.” To learn more about The Haiku Project, purchase the album or to find links to iTunes and Amazon, visit: http://www.realmusic.com/artists/haiku-project

haiku by
haiku is a Danish indie band formed by keyboard player and composer Henrik Hytteballe. He made his first solo album in 2006. For the making of the concept rock album mondo, he joined toghether with singer and writer Sokomo. The story is a comment on some of the conflicts, we see in our world, reflecting whether we try to solve these problems the right way. You should give this album several listenings, because it is both simple and very complexe and the songs grow when you listen to them again. Read the whole story on www.haikumusic.dk Sokomo says: “We wanted to show how we all are connected. Nobody is independent. We are all part of a unity.” Henrik Hytteballe joins:” We all have to choose in life. The choises we make have consequences. Mondo is also about some of these choices we have to face in our lives. When we choose we exclude something, but new doors may open up. haiku released the ambient album flow in 2009. This album has achieved a huge following among people who does yoga and meditation, and mindfulness coaches are using the music in their workshops. In 2014 haiku released the 4th album - VAGABOND - an electronic album with male vocal on each song. Again Henrik has joined with singer Sokomo to write lyrics and sing all songs.
