Eliksir

about

Eliksir was initiated by songwriter and vocalist Elin Synnove Brathen in 2003. Project name "Eliksir" originates from Elin's mispronunciation of her name as a child. She called herself "Elik" and referred to herself in the third person. "Elik says" thus became "Elik sir" in her northern Norwegian accent. Eliksir taken as "elixir" (magic potion) also fits to describe the music. Her versatile background with different music styles is given a distinct voice through songwriting for Eliksir. Elin comes from the Arctic north of Norway, growing up in a big family on a small farm surrounded by wildlife. Always burningly excited about music she played several instruments in her youth (trumpet and classical piano). She also sang with different choirs and ensembles, and was constantly given more and more challenging solo parts. Due to a change in her life Elin decided to focus on writing songs and singing. She moved to the south of Norway to study music at the University of Agder. There she invited into the concept a handful of talented male musicians with whom she studied, and started developing the material in collaboration with them. Upon recording 5 tracks for an EP in 2004 they connected with world famous artist, composer and producer Oystein Sevag. He embarked on the Eliksir-project with enthusiasm and soon realized that the material would turn into a full length album, not just an EP. Throughout 2005 and 2006 Eliksir gave concerts and Elin wrote more songs, concurrently recording
