*111 copies limited edition. 2022 stock* ‘Light Colours In Jyderup’ is a trademark Marta Forsberg composition – in a relatively short space of time, the Swedish composer is able to transform the simplest of sonic materials into the most magical, transcendent experience. Using only vocals and some effects, she makes a handful of students from a tiny Danish town sound both alien and medieval; the way the piece unfolds is graceful, its tone and feeling is sacred yet warm, like a Christmas carol from an alternate, minimalist universe. “I still find these voices so close and vulnerable, it’s very touching,” shares Marta Forsberg, reflecting on this piece 4 years after it was written. Featuring the voices of a few young students from Jyderup imitating the sounds of a violin, ‘Light Colours In Jyderup’ marked the beginning of Marta Forsberg’s explorations of the voice as an instrument. We are thrilled to be sharing the newly mixed and mastered audio version of this piece (which was originally an installation).
