The Days Pass Quickly Immersed in the Shadow of Eternity
Commissioned by ZKM Karlsruhe, Lea Bertucci's work for flutist Norbert Rodenkirchen sets his Renaissance, Medieval and Neolithic flutes inside electronic process: an electroacoustic piece that sounds like an ensemble reaching across centuries.
Anima Pepsi

X3 / Phonophani - Until the Fish Eyes Shine
Split LP in the Portraits GRM series: Amina Hocine blends sine waves, field recordings and her own foghorn organ in X3, while Espen Sommer Eide revisits his Phonophani years and the Tromsø ambient techno scene of the late 1990s.

Split LP in the Portraits GRM series: Jules Négrier’s two-movement electronic piece An Iris Crackled Like Eyelids meets Maria W Horn’s All Solids Melt Into Aether, organ chords pushed to their limits against computer-generated tones.
