On his second solo album, 'Gamle Mester' (Old Master), Lars Fredrik Frøislie pays tribute to the legends of the past. Taking inspiration from progressive rock pioneers, art, literature, and mythology, the album delves into timeless creative feats that still hold sway today. The title comes from the ancient oak tree 'Den Gamle Mester' at Krødsherad Prestegård, which also inspired a poem by Jørgen Moe. This symbolic tree runs through the album as a unifying theme, standing for wisdom, endurance, and the passage of time. From the opening track 'Demring' (Dawn) to the closing 'Skumring' (Dusk), the album takes you on an exciting journey with masterful instrument playing and Frøislie's most engaging songwriting so far. The album reaches its peak with 'De tre gratier' (The Three Graces), named after Zeus's daughters. Spanning 12 minutes, this epic piece captures all that makes 'Gamle Mester' a success. With shifts between light and dark, it's full of rich keyboard sounds, soaring flute melodies, dynamic percussion, and Nikolai Hængsle's virtuosic bass playing. 'Gamle Mester' is an album full of history, mythology, and musical excellence. A must - have for progressive rock fans and collectors alike.
