A Composer in Search of a Megaphone
12. February 2015
In 2008 the Berlin-based composer Simon Steen-Andersen composed the work “On and Off and To and Fro” for 3 megaphones and 3 instruments.The piece was very specifically composed for the Velleman M25SFM megaphone. Unfortunately this model has already become a “historic instrument” since it has been pulled from production and replaced with the similar looking, but different sounding MP25SFM (Note: the “P” makes all the difference).

Nordic Council Music Prize for Black Box Music
31. October 2014
Black Box Music, by the innovative composer Simon Steen-Andersen (born 1976), is a unique and radically different work. Andersen plays, with great virtuosity, in the intersection between composition, installation art, electronica and performance. Black Box Music is a challenging piece of avant-garde music, quite unlike anything else, and yet embracing it requires no prior musical knowledge. It is unusual for a form of expression as personal as this to reach so many people.
