STORK (7)

STORK stands for Simon Toldam ORKestra; according to some old-fashioned childish belief, a stork (same word as in Danish) was the bird bringing newborn babies - thus happy news and love. Toldam seems to belong metaphorically to the same animal species: he commits himself to superb and fearless aesthetics while supplying listeners with spontaneous, grounded and joyful gestures. In our time, poetry and daydreaming are often relegated to a secondary role, for the sake of constant realism and anonymous “real-time status updates”: Simon, on the contrary, is one of those rare talents warmly inviting you to step back, fly higher with your imagination, and believe in the Stork once again.
