“‘The music of Figurer i ett landskap

“‘The music of Figurer i ett landskap [Figures in a Landscape] is half electronic, and with the aid of a kind of digital technology of metamorphosis the music builds acoustic bridges between the singers and the instruments, the choir and the soloists, the stage space and the listeners’ space. The sound moves up, down and sideways, which creates a landscape that in the listener’s imaginative world could really be made as large as you like. For electronic music it is unusually instrumental (harps, strings, etc.) and easy to listen to. Stylistically the music moves from Italian hit songs to half-dry modernism – from the heart and pain to the mind and reason. And the melodies stay with you. On the whole the music is very well suited to the singers despite the fact that some of them are anything but potential singers – I am primarily thinking of Marika Lagercrantz and Jörgen Lantz.”
