Oct 29, 1 pm at the Aberdeen Art Gallery during the Curious Chamber Players concert.

Norrbotten NEO performs Cut Sections. Time Freezes Friday 21 October in Stockholm. The concert is included in the Sound of Stockholm festival that I am a cofounder of and is very involved in.

The young amazing violinist Karin Hellqvist listened to the premiere of Timeline and asked me if I had a piece for solo violin. I saw the possibility to summarize and develop the work with arpeggiation on harmonics that was done with Cut Sections. Time Freezes, Neptune's Field and Timeline. Karin tried things out and gave me feedback during the process and it was such a pleasure to compose The 5th String!

Next performance of Neptune's Filed will be at the opening concert of the Nordic Music Days in the new fantastc concert hall Oct. 6.

I worked very hard on the selection of texts from the book of Lamentations. My selections of verses focus on the ouccpation itself, the violence the misuse of power that we recognize from occupations today. I excluded verses that mention a place or a people. This occupation took place 560 b.c. but it could as well be happening today.

I made up five headlines to order the lyrics:

1. I (me, my.. )
2. You
3. They (the suffering ones)
