My experiment with pan-diatonic clusters. Played by Umeå Symphony orchestra

New Dawn

Last day of august 2013 I found myself out in deep woods knocking big metal objects and searching for resonances. Fingers knocks, taps and even caresses these huge metal objects. (see picture) Will come back for more here later! The percussive narrow alley really imposed some instant one hand playing (the other hand recording). Even though this place physically is more like an alley, for me this represents a sonic bridge, hense the title! :-)  . . .  .and as another hint to the title, these metal objects are indeed parts of a possible floating bridge, hopefully never needed to be used.

Work Song

FLUX was composed for my Bachelor thesis in Composition at Piteå School of Music, Sweden. I explored ways to achieve unity while blending several disparate influences, and the possibility of using slash notation (a common way of notating accompaniment in pop/rock and jazz) for classically trained musicians, with the aim of making them play more intuitive. 

Conducted by Christian Feivik. 
Musicians: Molly Påhlsson, Mikael Roos, Erik Björksten, Josefine Gellwar Madsen, Kristofer Morhed, Astrid Lindh, Jacob Edström, Elin Pettersson, Ronja Schneider

Thanks to the sound technician Malcom Lyth Waters and the sound engineer Martin Schultz for making the concert sound and look so great.

Special thanks to my professor Jan Sandström, for being a never-ending source of inspiration.

The Legends - Trouble Loves Me

A contemporary classical piece for string orchestra, minimalist yet romantic. Heavily inspired by the novel "Momo" (also known as "The Grey Gentlemen") by Michael Ende, the leitmotif came to me upon reading in the book that one of the characters whistled a melancholic tune to himself. The rest of the piece grew from that idea and draws from the events in the book, without illustrating any particular scene.

Composed by David Saulesco.
Performed by the Piteå College of Music chamber strings.
Conducted by Helge Kjekshus.
Mixed by Joel Löf.
