"Something happens when you say 'I' in a song, that can't happen in a book," declares Jenny Hval, who's known in her native Norway both as a musician (both under her own name, the moniker Rockettothesky, and with the duo Nude on Sand) and as a published novelist and media commentator. Her songs -- featuring frequently explicit language -- explore subjectivity and sensuality and experiment with male perspectives and voices. But don't call her music "confessional," as that implies guilt and sinfulness, and Jenny makes no apology for who she is or what she's thinking. As she challenges: "How much subject can you take?" Jenny Hval's previous, acclaimed Rune Grammofon album Viscera (2011), recorded with her own free rock trio, overflowed with intimate detail and surrealistic bodily imagery. Innocence Is Kinky -- which also features a string section led by avant garde composer Ole-Henrik Moe -- was produced in Bristol, England by PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish, who helped bring out the intimate qualities of her lyrics and sharpened her improvisational tendencies. "It was a very easy collaboration..." Like contemporaries such as Julia Holter and Laurel Halo, she's weaving spellbinding new forms of intelligent, experimental pop with injections from mythology, theory, gender politics and improvisation.

Program notes from the premiere:

The first classical composition that I ever fully completed, Gemini is about a six-minute short tone poem for string quintet that I finished writing in the spring of 2017. The piece, a thankful dedication to my mother, is meant to illustrate her experiences of giving birth to me (hence the title of the composition indicating my birth sign), with the opening A section in a kind of G Mixolydian mode serving as the calm before the storm, when my family was just relaxing at home. The sudden, accented jolt on a G# diminished seven chord, followed by a swift, downward sixteenth note gesture that accompanies the conclusion of this section, are meant to symbolize, respectively, the baby beginning to kick and my mother’s water breaking. The B section, in A minor, is meant to feel frantic, with the constant ascending and descending notes in the viola and second violin meant as a metaphor for the rapidly rotating wheels of a car as my parents rush to the hospital. The C section (ha, get it?), in E major, is a triumphant celebration of the end of my mother’s pains and the love that she feels for her newborn once her laboring is done. The B’ section is a return to the car and towards my parents’ house, but this time in A major, devoid of the anxiety that attended them on their journey last time. Finally, the A’ section that closes out the piece is representative of my family’s arrival back at their home, but, this time, my mother has brought newfound joy with her, so, instead of in G Mixolydian, we conclude the piece in G major.
