Britta Byström (Sweden) has been awarded Global Music Award's Best in Show Honors for her album Ink-wash on Paper in the composer category. Ink-wash on Paper is a concept album based on the work of artist Gunnel Wåhlstrand, a magnificent realist painter capturing landscapes with photographic clarity. The album takes inspiration from these works in its soft, mesmerizing sonic texture, as well as its bright and crisp instrumentation. Byström's entrancing compositions are brought to life by a wonderful chamber ensemble that mirrored Wåhlstrand's precise painting with their exacting performances. The work maintains a wonderful yearning, melancholic quality, infrequently so strongly distilled. We are sure you will enjoy this unique project and be sure to view Wåhlstrand's art while listening
