 | | Description: | UBIQUE lives on the border between enigmatic lyricism and atmospheric distortion. Through a combination of sounds, pitches, and textural nuances, low deep drones envelop lyrical materials and harmonies that breathe in and out of focus throughout the progress of the piece. The flow of the music is primarily guided by continuous expansion and contraction - of various kinds and durations - as it streams with subtle interruptions and frictions but ever moving forward in the overall structure. The work is inspired by the notion of being everywhere at the same time, an enveloping omnipresence, while simultaneously focusing on details within the density of each particle, echoed in various forms of fragmentation and interruption and in the sustain of certain elements of a sound beyond their natural resonance - throughout the piece, sounds are both reduced to their smallest particles and their atmospheric presence expanded towards the infinite.As with my music generally, the inspiration is not something I am trying to describe through the music as such - it is a way to intuitively approach and work with the core energy, structure, atmosphere and material of the piece. UBIQUE is 45 minutes in duration and is written in 11 parts, for flutes, grand piano, 2 cellos and pre-constructed electronics. - Anna Thorvaldsdottir"Ubique" on CD brings together the striking contemporary voices of Anna Thorvaldsdottir, Robert Paterson Chase and Trumpeter/Conductor Reinier Kleijn in a program that explores space, texture and atmosphere with extraordinary finesse. The works on this album move between fragile, almost weightless soundscapes and dense, sculpted climaxes, creating a listening experience that feels both intimate and vast. Carefully balanced acoustics and detailed recording capture every nuance of the performances, from the softest breath of a string line to the glowing resonance of brass and winds. "Ubique" is ideal for listeners who appreciate modern classical music that is immersive, contemplative and richly colored rather than overtly virtuosic or flashy. It is a disc that rewards repeated listening, revealing new layers of structure and timbre each time.
Sono Luminus, the label behind this release, is renowned for its audiophile-quality productions and a strong focus on contemporary and adventurous classical repertoire. Based in the United States, the company has built a reputation for meticulous sound engineering, often using high-resolution formats and carefully chosen acoustic spaces to create a three-dimensional listening experience. Sono Luminus frequently collaborates with innovative ensembles and composers, positioning itself as a curator of fresh, forward-looking projects within the classical world.
At the heart of "Ubique" stand the individual artistic profiles of the featured composers and performers. Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music, known for her organic, slowly evolving musical landscapes and collaborations with leading orchestras and ensembles worldwide. Her contribution to this album deepens her exploration of sonic ecosystems and time, drawing the listener into a sound world that is at once elemental and refined. Robert Paterson Chase and Reinier Kleijn complement this aesthetic with their own perspectives, expanding the stylistic palette of the program and underlining the "everywhere" concept suggested by the title: music that travels across geographies, textures and emotional states.
"Ubique" is more than a simple compilation of pieces: it is a carefully shaped journey that leads the listener through different emotional and acoustic spaces. The sequencing of the works and the subtle shifts in mood and density give the album a clear dramaturgy, making it suitable for focused listening as well as for deep, atmospheric background sound. With its combination of first-rate performances, refined contemporary composition and exceptional sound production, this CD is a compelling addition to any collection devoted to new music and high-end recordings. | | | Playtime: |
