On Distorted Wings, I Soar to the Land of Longing defunensemble
Event Introduction
The concert presents two expansive world premieres, exploring the space between nostalgia and experimentation.
In Antti Auvinen’s new work, fragments of old Finnish tangos intertwine with intense rhythms, distorted sonorities and live electronics, giving echoes of the past new meanings.
In Danish composer Simon Løffler’s work, musical movements flow into one another through the sounds of both traditional and unconventional instruments, seeking to transcend their own boundaries and take flight like birds.
Together, these new works open up intriguing perspectives on music history and its ever-evolving present.
