The Rattlebelles duo – Ylva Bråten Rian and Nora Sjøgren – debuted in 2022 and Anna Berg’s piece New Alcyone for vibraphone and metal cases is written for them.
Field recordings of a pine forest and its wildlife in Tjodalyng is the inspiration for the audio material in Piano Piece. Kristine Tjøgersen has tried to recreate the sounds of insects, birds, leaves, water, creaking trees, and the human presence in the forest. The result is an artificial forest of sound. Tjøgersen is fascinated by trees, their underground communication network and secret life. Adventurous pianist Ellen Ugelvik will make use of the instrument’s insides.
Gerhard Stäbler is one of the most prominent composers of his generation. He is perhaps best known for his avant garde stage works and chamber music and in recent years has had several projects with Norwegian musicians Silje Aker Johnsen, Victoria Johnson and Anders Kregnes Hansen.
A conceptual concert where the forest itself spreads its roots on the piano!
