  • Description

    "The album 'Influence of buildings on musical tone' is a collection of five recent chamber works by Icelandic composer Thrainn Hjalmarsson, performed by Iceland's most exciting new music performers/ensemble who are actively redefining what experimental and classical new music is in relation to our modern world - CAPUT ensemble, Ensemble Adapter, Nordic Affect, Icelandic flute ensemble and Kristin Thora Haraldsdottir. Ranging from the quiet intimacy of the solo viola in 'Persona', the glacial gravitas of the 12-piece flute ensemble of 'Grisaille' - to the explosive dynamics of the title track - 'Influence of Buildings on Musical Tone' - an homage to the extreme acoustics of traditional Icelandic turf houses. Hjalmarsson is known for his detailed and finely woven sound world, where the act of listening plays a vital role. Here, the perception of sound is ever transforming, revealing an otherwise obfuscated narrative, unfolding in time."
