Aslak Brimi is a prominent fiddle player in the Norwegian folk music community, and has a lot of different music projects. He has his own solo-projects, and duo wth Erlend Viken, trio with Astrid Sulheim and Bjørn Kåre Odde ( Atterljomen) and his own quartett (Aslak Brimi kvartett). He is from the famous fiddle area Lom in Gudbrandsdalen, and his grandfather was the well known fiddle player Hans W. Brimi (1917-1998). Aslak says: My grandfather, Hans W. Brimi, was regarded as a nice fellow by those who knew him. He had many close friends nationwide among people interested in folk music. The music and everything connected with it, was an important part of his life. I myself did not know Hans W. Brimi as a concert musician or a great fiddler. I started to play the fiddle too late for that, and when I got interested in earnest, he had put the fiddle on the shelf. I am sorry to admit never to have played with him. But there is a host of nice memories. To me he was Grandfather Brimi, the one who kept the kids on a straight line when we visited the farm. My music today allways has a drop of Lom and the music of my grandfather in it. The tunes i have after him is a treasure and a musical heritage I humbly uses as a musician. My purpose is not to play like Grandfather or the other old players from Lom. But the sound or tonality, the feeling, the rhythm, and the dynamics in his music are qualities which I wish to achieve. To me these things are something special.
