about

Henrik has been an integral part of the Ambientologist family from the beginning, and it’s with great pride that his work be showcased as an early member of the label family, and more still in offering a rare full length album.

Själ ties everything the Stockholm based cellist has been doing into a consolidated, coherent and above all magnificent work, filled with rich emotion and, in keeping with its namesake, beguiling soul. As one of the most expressive instruments at a composer’s disposal, Henrik allows the cello to do the talking. Slow and deeply stirring arcs, married with sweeter taps of piano, cello plucks and subtle electronics.

Above all, Själ is as elegant as it is grounded in immersive feeling and deep, resonant imagery. And in his own words:

The soul communicating with the nervous system.
It gives you thoughts and images in your inner mind.
It can be memories or diffuse pictures. It takes you away from reality.
A musical-tonal floating away of the mind.



"Even if music from Scandinavia is often equipped with this typical and unique melancholy, the range of feelings on Själ is much broader." - Gezeitenstrom

"Meierkord has a way of subtle nuances in sound as evidenced on the title track and this is carried throughout the album." - Drifting, Almost Falling

"Big, hot, but also hypnotic and threatening, cells lure you down into that black pond that is Meierkord's world. And then you are lost." - 482MHz
