Nine Horses brings together Sylvian, his brother Steve Jansen (ex-Japan), and the well respected Burnt Friedman and they have created a suite of remarkably poignant songs that are part social commentary and part self-analysis. Sylvian and his collaborators have never sounded better nor the material more immediate. Stina Nordenstam is featured on the opening track "Wonderful World".

The long awaited album with Sylvian involved will be released on Samadhi Sound (SS006)on October 10th 2005. As the band named Nine Horses, David Sylvian, Steve Jansen and Burnt Friedman have produced a remarkable and accessible album called Snow Borne Sorrow.
The opening track 'Wonderful World' features vocals by Stina Nordenstam.
Here is a review/comment on the track found on the site:
"The track starts with a cinematic, jazzy rhythm structured with superb bass playing of Keith Lowe. Wonderful World has a catchy melody with Stina Nordenstam filling in the gaps between Sylvian's ironic looks at the world of today. What Stina is singing/saying isn't clearly to me as I can hardly understand a word she's saying. The choice of Stina is remarkable as her style of performing on this track sounds a lot like Ingrid Chavez. Maybe a purposeful move of Sylvian. One of my favorite tracks of this album."

In the Magasin 3 Projekt gazebo, Stina Nordenstam presents the new sound installation "T�nk dig en m�nniska" (Imagine a person), which deals with catastrophes, traumas, UFOs, love and life in general. We hear the voices of people telling their stories. How much of what they say is actually true? Documentary narration blends with fiction and newly composed music. The work centres round the unique human ability of recovering from traumatic experiences. Forgetting and fantasizing, fiction and lies play a vital role. Stina Nordenstam explores human conditions and has chosen to use some fiction in her representation, congenial with the human condition. Our minds and memories are creative; they do not simply record. There are many stories, perhaps mainly in the USA, about people being abducted by aliens in UFOs. People have given detailed accounts of abuse, which occasionally have lasted for years.
She created the music for the piece at the same time as she was working on the texts. There is a common touch that, in Stina Nordenstam�s words, reflects "the somewhat black-edged joy of being alive, and the acceptance of the fact that it will not last. It�s like nature at the time before the school summer holidays: overpoweringly beautiful but it fades and ends almost before one has time to bat an eyelid."
The documentary in contrast to the fictitious is central to Stina Nordenstam�s artistic practice. She is located in between these two fields, a striking example of which is her new work for Magasin 3 Projekt. A previous autobiographical exploration is her record People Are Strange. Stina Nordenstam questions the idea that one�s "own" history makes for more personal or true art. For her record, she reworked and appropriated several popular songs. She suggests that everyone, despite one�s point of departure, has to work through layers of recognition in order to reach an authentic and personal expression. Intuitively, she seems to work with perhaps the most difficult subject an artist can tackle: challenging the idea of taste by constantly demanding of the viewer or listener a reappraisal of the familiar.
