Mette Nielsen and Matias Vestergård Hansen in KLASSISK music magazine

17. February 2020

Lonely Alien Calling is the title of the portrait of Mette Nielsen, Matias Vestergård Hansen, and Lil Lacy in KLASSISK. The title refers to Mette's quote when telling people she is a composer: “I feel like an alien because most people find the job strange. At first, I have to explain what it is all about”. Matias comments: “Or they say: “so you're the guy in front of the orchestra?” That is never a satisfactory experience but you try to find a common language. In the end, that's what I'm good at”.
