There are mysterious flying creatures, of unknown nature, in planet Eridanus. They can sometimes be seen flying high against the dark sky.

Originally composed for the 2020 edition of the Australasian Computer Music Conference, 'City Circles' is a 28 minute piece that furthers my research on loops as a main musical currency, as well as the exploration of urban sounds and scenery, also present in 2018's "A deafening silence".

City Circles (excerpt)

Fredrik Rasten is a guitarist and composer (b. 1988) working in the field of experimental music, both improvised and composed. His main focuses are exploring and utilizing the acoustic possibilities of the steel string guitar. The last years he has been working extensively with just intonation, taking an extended concept of consonance as a point of departure. He has studied in this field with  Catherine Lamb and Marc Sabat in Berlin. In his work he is also inspired by wandelweiser music, traditional british folk and early music.
