Material for String Quintet - Uppsala Chamber Soloists @ S:t Görans kyrka

GLO were invited to do an experimental, ambient version of Beethoven's ninth symphony for the summer festival 2020 In between music in Hjärnarp, Skåne, Sweden. Due to the Corona pandemic we couldn't do it live as we hoped for so the artistic director Leif Jordansson asked the members to record their own parts at home, from instructions by LJ to let him put all the pieces together. We did a semi-live version in september 2020 with a few live musicians playing together with the recorded material, some of the parts are from that recording.

00.00 Part 1 - Ambient drone. A version based on the tonal material in Beethovens part one.
17.00 Part 2 - Plunderphonics. Recordings from B's part 2 cut in small pieces and rearranged in a new order, then recordings made on top of that.
24.55 Part 3 - Adagio, live from Hjärnarps church
30.55 Part 4 - Finale, recorded in studio by GLO in a session august 2020
