Places of Worship (album)

Places Of Worship (released 1 October 2013 in Oslo, Norway) is an album by Arve Henriksen.

Background 
This album marks the return of Henriksen to the label Rune Grammofon and furthers his collaboration with Jan Bang and Erik Honoré. He never separates himself from the environmental information provided by his natural Nordic landscape. The lush, wild, and open physical vistas of its geography provide an inner map for the trumpeter and vocalist that amounts to a deeply focused series of tone poems. While these tracks are impossible to separate from the influences of Jon Hassell's Fourth World Music explorations or the more murky moodscapes of Nils Petter Molvær, they are also more than a few steps removed from them. The experimentations within soundscapes, spaces, and texture bring the listener into sacred places the world over, hence its title.
