In The Light Of Air - Ice Performs Anna Thorvaldsd
Label: SONO LUMINUS Catalog: DSL-92192 Format: BLU-RAY AUDIO + CD In The Light Of Air, by Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottír, is a tetralogy of works written for viola, cello, harp, piano, percussion & electronics that together form a unified structure. + Surrounded by a Prologue and an Epilogue, the four main movements, titled Luminance, Serenity, Existence and Remembrance, are connected by “Transitions” to form a seamless flow throughout the work. + The work streams from one movement to the next through flowing textures of sound materials and harmonies. + The music material is constructed with a focus on subtle nuances and poetic textures forming lyrical gestures throughout the work. + Melodies are generated just as much by sounds, gestures and nuances as by pitched lyrical material. + For the work, Anna designed an installation of metallic ornaments that are used in a solo in the percussion part in Remembrance. + “In the Light of Air” was written for the Int’l Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) in 2013/2014 as part of their ICElab.
