Meeting with Kjetil Bjerkestrand in 2019, Sara found something she was looking for. He is the epitome of the symbiotic musician, drawing on experience and inspirations from a wide range of musical styles, from rock, pop through to contemporary. He describes the composition process as one part search for fixation points in a series of possible events, and one part exploration of friction caused by the union of the elastic and the mechanical.
A theme that Sara aimed to pursue in the project was the juxtaposition of the electronic and the organic. Philip Glass's Second Violin Concerto is arranged for synthesiser and strings, a kind of updated version of Vivaldi's string orchestra with continuo. But where previous recordings have gone for an electronic sound resembling the baroque harpsichord, Sara wanted to create a more electroacoustic soundscape, thus achieving a common thread between the two works.
