Old instruments have always fascinated Anders Norudde (pronounced NOR-rude). His burning curiosity drove him to research and develop the possibilities offered by the Swedish bagpipe and the Moraharpa, the oldest preserved form of the nyckelharpa.

In 1987–88 he was involved in a theater project which incorporated new music inspired by the tradition. Also involved in the project were Björn Tollin and Hållbus Totte Mattsson, and the three of them started the group Hedningarna.

As a soloist, however, Anders is relatively unknown. Many have been captivated by his virtuosity as a multi-instrumentalist and by his ability to write good tunes.
