Concert Review:
(Dk)
“Fra begyndelsen vokser mystiske og fortættede klange ud af orkestret, hvor også en stor variation af instrumenter kommer i spil. Harmonier, der langsomt glider over i hinanden... Den store tromme bliver til en slags vindmaskine med en rislende effekt, der nærmest fungerer som en lydmæssig røgkanon, der lægger en tåge eller mystisk røgslør nederst i lydbilledet.”
(En)
“From the beginning, mysterious and condensed sounds grow out of the orchestra, where a large variety of instruments also come into play. Harmonies that slowly slide into each other ... The drum turns into a kind of wind machine with a rippling effect that almost acts as a sonic smoke cannon that puts a fog or mysterious smoke veil at the bottom of the soundscape.”
