Anders Lauge Meldgaard

At Synge Verden Ind I En Ny Og Mangefoldet Tid was composed during Anders Lauge Meldgaard’s period as composer in residence at the old Danish castle Rønnebæksholm on the south of Zealand. He has previously released music as Frisk Frugt, Supermelle, Music for Six Electric Guitars, Kirsten Ketsjer and been a part of the experimental collective yoyooyoy.

This release marked Anders taking on new musical adventures by composing for an ensemble of classical musicians. The music, however, retains the flavours and colours from his earlier works, due to the fact that it combines elements of minimalism, romanticism, electronic music, contemporary composition and improvisation. The piece is performed by an autonomous ensemble of eight young musicians from the Danish contemporary music scene put together with the help of violinist Bettina Marie Ezaki, who is also a member of the string quartet Halvcirkel. The piece was premiered at Rønnebæksholm and has since been performed at Click Festival, Copenhagen Jazzhouse and Copenhagen Jazzfestival.
