Frode Haltli, Torben Snekkestad, Frode Andersen and Enjar Kanding perform the premieres of three pieces for accordions, saxophone and electronics by Danish composer Jexper Holmen.
‘Lullabies explores the unspoken ghastliness of the lullaby. Eris is named after the ancient Greek goddess of strife. Oort is a 40-minute sphere of sound, inspired by the cloud of comets believed to surround the solar system a light-year away. The music is extremely slow and relentless, not unlike a cosmic disaster'
