"The Cow's Horn", Ale Moller

"The Cow's Horn", performed by Ale Moller (www.alemoller.com) in concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA on March 24, 2012.

Ale Möller creates his own landscape of music upon different musical traditionsof various origins. He operates freely, motivated by his own curiosity. His inquiring ambitions have been transferred to a wide audience, fascinated by the complexity of his music and intoxicated by his movement of the entire landscape.

The Möller signature is recognized by its significant drive, where there's always a tone that wants to move on by its own free will. Ale Möller can create a "craze-joy" like no other, both on and off stage, which is his explicit goal. As a musical storyteller he is very determined in his ambitions, as he started out at an early age playing the trumpet.
Later on he fell in love with Greek music and the Swedish folklore tradition, especially music from the Swedish province of Dalecarlia. Being a multi-instrumentalist, he can handle instruments like mandola, accordion, flute, shawm and cowhorn -- but foremost Ale is a musician that works his way into the very core of the traditional music that he encounters, no matter if the style is Greek rembetika or sulky triple tone.
