2026 stock Bára Gísladóttir (b. 1989) considers sounds, instruments and ensembles as living organisms. In VAPE, Hringla and COR, the Icelandic composer and double bassist engages with the largest musical organism of all: the symphony orchestra. Through these works, we follow Gísladóttir’s fascination with language and coincidence, for example. Here is an uncompromising interrogation of the body, in its excesses and ailments. And here, most of all, is life, vaporous and between states, neither dark nor light; an ‘everlasting Dusk’.

Available in Dolby Atmos® on a variety of streaming platforms and as a limited edition hardcover book plus CD with liner notes in English, German, and Danish. A co-production with the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation as part of the Composer Prize 2024 to Bára Gísladóttir.
