Colliding Bubbles (surface tension and release) - 28:50
Composed by Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard, 2022

Quatuor Bozzini:
Alissa Cheung, violin I + harmonica (G) Clemens Merkel, violin II + harmonica (G) Stéphanie Bozzini, viola + harmonica (C) Isabelle Bozzini, cello + harmonica (C)

Colliding Bubbles (surface tension and release) is a composition for string quartet and harmonica quartet, meaning that Quatuor Bozzini is playing string instruments while playing harmonicas.

"The title refers to different kinds of bubbly matter which are set to collide within the composition, leading to different ruptures and possible release of surface tension.
The collision of bubbles unfolds partly in relation to sound, where small fluctuations appear in the encounters between harmonicas and string instruments and partly in relation to a more performative or conceptual bubble where instruments representing different systems, or bubbles, will collide; the very celebrated instruments within the classical string quartet and the perhaps more prosaic harmonica."  - Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard

Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard & Quatuor Bozzini: Colliding Bubbles CD release: 3.1.24

"Stranded, not in space, but far below the surface of an otherworldly ocean. Breathing does not seem to be an issue here. Water, or a liquid that resembles it, surrounds you. Glimmers of light from unknown sources dance around the environment, allowing for just enough visibility to make out the landscape. A place where the lines between synthetic and organic appear to be blurred, where life slinks and flows like the domain it inhabits. The space around you seems to breathe with every step as you fumble in the dim light. Impossible to know friend from foe, bizarre lifeforms curiously approach, un-afraid, as they have no reason to believe there is any threat present. The existence of shapes, colors, and behaviors beyond conventional understanding piques your curiosity and fear. With no knowledge of how this place came to be or how to survive in it, you set off into the vastness that surrounds you."

“I’ve been having a ton of fun exploring the 90-100 bpm range as I haven’t historically branched into that realm. I thought that a lot of the music I was enjoying at that tempo fit the concept of the mix series, so I wanted to see what I could do with it. It was a fun challenge using tracks I wouldn’t typically play out on a dance floor. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.”

I’m a dj, producer, and event organizer from Washington D.C. I find it very difficult to stick to a single style or tempo and I try to reflect that in all the work that I do. I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by so many talented, caring people that make up the dance music scene in D.C. and I find inspiration in that daily. In 10 years, I want to look back and know that I positively contributed to and deeply impacted the community that gave me chances to play music for them.
