His work focuses on preserving tunes from areas like Meldal and Orkdal, blending technical precision with the raw energy of rural dance music. Recent releases like *Kattalender ... og enda flere slåtter!* and *Murru* showcase his knack for making centuries-old traditions feel fresh, whether through solo performances or collaborations. A dedicated cultural torchbearer, Eide’s recordings often double as musical archives, ensuring these regional styles don’t fade into silence.
