Still only in his mid-30s, Simon Steen-Andersen is one of the most successful Danish composers of his generation, with numerous portrait concert and commissions from around the world. In this performance, Norwegian Ensemble asamisimasa presents a fast-paced game full of wit, imagination and originality, combining brilliance with well-crafted ideas and an awareness of the visual element of music.
‘-I am- trying to approach the human being behind the instrument, because then music can suddenly be about everything that is most important: communication, being, fragility and intimacy.'
Simon Steen-Andersen
Produced by hcmf supported by The Danish Arts Council, The Danish Arts Foundation, Danish Composers Society's Production Pool / KODA's Fund for Social and Cultural Purposes and SNYK
