haiku: music for thinking people
haiku is a Danish indie band melting progressive rock and ambient music. Thoughtful music with lots of atmosphere.
Haiku biography:
Haiku started as a solo project for Henrik Hytteballe, releasing the album haiku nov. 2006. Since haiku is both a duo and a band.
First album HAIKU is about finding inner resources after a big change in life - how to carry on.
Second album MONDO is a magnificent rock concept album. The story inspired by Shakespeare, Philosophers and the Bible is both poetic and dramatic; many fine British rock bands inspire the music from Pink Floyd, Simple Minds to Editors and Bloc Party.
Freddy Albrektsen produced the album, and the production is sharp and distinctive, making a perfect balance between music and vocal.
A Danish Newspaper gave mondo a 5 star review and described the album this way: “Definitely a fabulously sounding album, which you can only go into raptures about.“
Third album FLOW is more than one hour of ambient electronica and meditative music; perfect for yoga, healing, qui gong, massage and awareness.
Many professionals use haiku in their work; one of them says: “haiku is like a key that opens up and connects the inner, quietly reflective and the exterior, vibrating beat, creating a crescendo of pleasure to unfold!”
