Tuva Halse and Arne Torvik return with Sleeping Music, the final single and title track of their upcoming duo album, to be released in February 2027. Rather than being music for sleep, the piece takes its name from an image of nature in winter, when life withdraws beneath the surface and enters a period of rest before returning in spring. Full of forward motion, the music carries a sense of youthful optimism and naivety, with a subtle melancholy.

Sleeping Music explores the space between dormancy and renewal, where winter holds nature in a state of pause while life continues beneath the surface. Rooted in Nordic jazz and folk music, the piece unfolds with a narrative character, shaped by a choral, hymn-like sensibility. Open and lyrical, it moves between warmth and melancholy, stillness and forward motion.
