Saturations is a composition by Danish multidisciplinary artist Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard, and features a clarinet choir consisting of 19 clarinet players. 

Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard (b. 1979) considers his work to be a basic research in realities working within the domains of imaginary & physical sound as well as other non-sonic media. Since 2012 Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard has experimented with creating music that lets the instruments transcend their inherent sonic norms and reappear in another form by way of multiplication of sound.

His work with multiplication of sound has led to numerous compositions in which one instrument is multiplied a number of times. His work includes a composition for 9 pianos, another for 10 hi-hats and yet another for countless triangles and so on.... 

The multiplication brings out bodily timbral phenomena, interference of sound waves and vibrations, evoking what Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard calls the sound’s "potential of transformation."  He describes this as the quality in a musical piece when you no longer hear recognizable instruments and the individual sound, as well as the individual musician, is dissolved into the whole.

A sonic as well as human synthesis.

He explains the concept of this sound as follows:

“Imagine you enter a room with vibrant acoustics, such as a cafe full of people having conversations, and when you’re close to those conversations you hear the language and understand the words. If you step away from the tables, however, and stand in the doorway, you begin to lose the ability to distinguish the words from one another. Now instead of hearing the individual conversations, multiplication melts all the conversations and transforms them into one new sound. A sound of people without words and language. Just as when you hear a group of geese squawk, or the wind in treetops, a kind of nature-given sound of people. Once the language is dissolved and the words stop making sense, what is left, is the sound."

The work of NLL has been presented at a variety of different venues and museums such as MoMA (NY - as a part of the René Magritte exhibition The Mystery of the Ordinary, 2013), Imaginary West

Indies (Overgaden Copenhagen, 2017), ISCM (Vancouver, 2017), Radiophrenia (Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts, 2017), CPH:DOX (Copenhagen, 2017), Roskilde Festival (2017), Harpa (Reykjavik, 2017), G((o))ng Tomorrow Festival (Copenhagen 2016, 2018), Nordic Music Days (Norway, 2019), Akusmata (SF, 2020) and his works has been released on labels such as Topos (DK), Archive Officielle (CA) and Important Records (US). NLL is associate professor at RMC in Copenhagen, and has given lectures at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), Goldsmiths University of London a.o.p. NLL has been awarded with several prizes a.o. from the Danish Art Foundation and the Sonning Foundation.

« Percussion-Resonance » :

This new record of both minimal and experimental electronic music is a Piece that is separated into several movements for the purpose of stronger narrative and aesthetic coherence.
The album explores the concept of percussion / resonance through the spectrum of electronic frequencies and densities with a plunge into the sound.« Percussion-Resonance » makes use of a new alphabet, a simple vocabulary in order to create innovative and personal music, with a clear and emotional subject. Structured architectural sequences give way to the experimental. Different climaxes punctuate the work in order to keep grabbing the listener’s attention. The record title tackle the theme of musique concrète developed by French composer Pierre Schaeffer as well a nod to Bernard Parmegiani’s De Natura Sonorum. Music for Buchla Music Easel, EMS Synthi, Eurorack Mutable Instruments, resonances sound textures.

Adagio - Electroacoustic Music

cries quand tu brûles

This piece is a trio, for piano, viola and violoncello, dedicated to Ensemble Fractales.
It was premiered in Schloss Reichenau, Austria, on Aug. 24th, 2019, by Ensemble Fractales, conducted by Jean-Bernard Matter.

It was inspired by a poem written by Zhai Yongming.

"You merely yourself displease others on first sight
you shouldn’t come here when you’re bored
your hair is too long, too threatening leaving or arriving you look like those risk-taking roots dark and carefree it should have been green waves in a neurotic ocean that restored your vitality
but now you’re a wolf
happy, lively, vengeful teeth
bare themselves to the night, in the painting
your hatred seems so lonely, others praise it"

from Portrait by Zhai Yongming, translated by Eleanor Goodman
