- Julie & Andreas ambitious three full album series
A tribute and a celebration of coastal life, the wonders and the danger.
The ENE series stands as a tribute to brave souls lost at sea, and a celebration of the courage of those left behind to carry on.
Their grandparents’ tragic story serves as the inspiration and gives a poignancy to this artistic endeavour.Julie & Andreas introduce our ears to a glorious new soundscape that is at once wistful, contemplative, and gritty, but quickly followed by a kind of majestic and joy-infused hopefulness.
Not a weak moment.
Like a boat lost in massive waves in a massive ocean, the soft, tearful wailing of the bandoneon seems to be searching for home or, at the very least, respite

Strong, heartfelt and great music.
Playing duo music composed entirely by them, the two spin elemental magic.

Julie & Andreas
harp, bandoneon
“It’s extraordinarily exquisite in its combinations and dash of audacity.”
Classically trained virtuosos, this brother and sister have always wanted to play music together. Julie plays the harp, BUT Andreas plays the bandoneon. Harp with bandoneon?! They did it anyway! …and the result is truly… …breathtaking. Through this uncommon mix of instruments, combining the gritty heritage of the bandoneon with the majesty and elegance of the harp, a profound musical tension is created. This unique energy sparks and illuminates them as uncommonly beautiful in their innovative musical drift between folk, tango and classical styles.

This light and attention is helping restore life and energy to coastal communities in an importantly sustainable and caring way.
This movement is to keep the Norwegian landscape pristine and pure, as these areas continue to change from no longer being primary industry areas of fishing and marine to becoming more lifestyle destinations. They want to ensure that this growth and new life occurs carefully into the future with respect to the people who have gone before us by holding a weather eye to the past.
