Sowulo signs to Season of Mist

Season of Mist is honored to announce the signing of SOWULO, the captivating musical project led by the visionary multi-instrumentalist and composer, Faber Horbach. With a profound connection to the mysticism and philosophy of the Anglo-Saxon and Viking ages, SOWULO embarks on a transformative journey through music that delves deeply into the cyclical nature of existence and an animistic worldview.

Faber comments:

“Sowulo has been gaining momentum over the past decade, and it’s beautiful to see how the project has grown steadily and naturally.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve taken on every task myself; from composing, performing, and recording to producing and managing all the record label activities. As the project has expanded, I’ve realized that it’s time to take a new path to unlock Sowulo’s full potential.

Teaming up with Season of Mist is a huge step forward for me. It will provide me with the space and time I need to focus on creating even more music and developing the live shows with the attention and care they deserve. At the same time, it will make it much easier for fans to engage with my music and enjoy Sowulo’s merchandise.

I’m excited to continue this journey and I’m ready to explore new possibilities and take Sowulo to new heights!”

The live ensemble brings this ancient spirit to life on stage, featuring Faber Horbach (Vocals, Nyckelharpa, Irish Bouzouki, Carnyx), Micky Huijsmans (Vocals), Chloe Bakker (Celtic Harp), Tim Elfring (Percussion), Roel Steijvers (Percussion), Rikke Linssen (Violin), Angeles Chaparro (Viola), Heleen de Jonge (Cello), and Tessa van Genderen (Blowhorns, Carnyx, Backing Vocals).

Join us in celebrating this significant milestone and embracing the boundless potential that lies ahead. Sowulo‘s essence and music can be explored further through their official channels.

SOWULO is the work of multi-instrumentalist and composer Faber Horbach, and is inspired by Anglo-Saxon and Viking-age mysticism and philosophy. Captivated by the cyclical nature of existence and an animistic worldview, Faber is determined to express his spiritual path through his music.

With lyrics in Anglo-Saxon and historical instruments, Sowulo creates an immersive sonic universe that challenges both the creator and listener to go on an inner journey and to invoke cyclical wisdom from deep within.

Sowulo means ‘Sun’ in proto-germanic. The music follows our connection with the Sun and tells the story of our inner and outer cycles of day and night, the four seasons, birth and death.
