As we’ve been writing and performing music together for such a long time now—starting out as merely small kids—we’ve gathered quite a few musical influences along the way, and to summarize our musical output in a few words has consequently always been somewhat of a challenge for us. It spans a broad array of different genres and styles, and we often strive to bring together traditionally segregated styles, with the intention of creating something sonicaly exciting. Having said that, it is predominately instrumental, and occidental art music as well as jazz is especially close to heart.

Quotes
The pure string-based ‘Death of a King’ is something very special in the field of classical music. A short but significant work, the one signed by Daniel & Mikael Tjernberg, which manages to bring together themes and tones clearly of classical inspiration with a contemporary feel A nice collection of songs from the brothers who continue to experiment through their music and bring old concepts to a new light On ‘Flight of the Raven’ Daniel & Mikael Tjernberg deliver a powerful piece of work. This is fantastically creative musical composition with a powerful gut impact. Highly recommended for those on grey or darker paths, or for people who prefer intellectually complex music to power their rituals. Bravo! A talented and brilliant definition of eclectic musical inspiration with sublime essences of fusion jazz, contemporary classical music, ambient themes and neoclassicism The emotion truly comes when we reach the climactic cues, the sweeping strings tugging at the listener’s heart in the way only great composers can achieve A picture can tell a thousand words. A piece of music can tell a thousand pictures The Tjernbergs are excellent composers and musicians Songwriting skills adhere to melody, where an organic correlation between folk music, film music, dark ambient and jazz strike a nicely balanced chord. It’s easily one of the top albums of this genre The work of brothers Tjernberg shows taste, genuine passion and a wonderful gift of writing and arranging musicGezeitenstrom Magazin
