Lenio Liatsou (piano)About
This album is a world premiere recording of Book I: Birds from Niels Rønsholdt’s piano cycle Archive of Emotions and Experiences.
Composer and sound artist Niels Rønsholdt (b. 1978) often works with intimate human expressions and conceptual constructions involving performance, text and musical expression.
The pianist is an oracle-like figure from an imagined future who records and archives human emotions and experiences before they are gone, and it is too late. In Book I: Birds, the pianist tells the story of birds that in this imagined future scenario have long been extinct.
When performing the work, the pianist on the stage is surrounded by a semi-transparent, cubic cover. ‘In a world which has experienced something like the corona pandemic, such a scenario does not so seem so far from reality as it did when I developed the idea’, says Rønsholdt.
Rønsholdt’s music is flickering, with melodies based on an almost old-fashioned tonal language, but set to run at an extreme speed.
The album is recorded by the Greek pianist Lenio Liatsou, who specializes in new music.
