Reviews · KLANG Festival 2021

KLANG Festival 2021 kicked off on 27 May with many world premieres on the programme.

Mads Emil Dreyer's 'Miniature 3' was premiered by Athelas Sinfonietta at the opening concert of KLANG festival 2021. The critic from the Danish newspaper Politiken wrote: 

"Mads Emil Dreyer opened with the work 'Miniature 3' where airy electronic sounds merged with delicate bells, tender wind instruments and subtle strings into timbral figures, submerging the room in a more and more intense, dreamlike soundscape."

The magazine KLASSISK also praised Dreyer's work. Their critic wrote: 

"The best - and most original - work was Mads Emil Dreyer's Miniature 3, where he has continued to develop on his great interest in combining electronic and acoustic sounds [...] The compositional technique is a refined combination of very simple harmonies and extremely complicated rhythmical displacements in the orchestra."

Jeppe Ernst's 'Sakramente (Natsange)' was premiered by Erica Giacoletto, Kalle Hakosalo, Matias Seibæk and Tomek Szczepaniak. A critic from Seismograf was present and wrote: 

"Sakramente (Natsange)' by body-composer Jeppe Ernst simmers with posthumanism: bodies, moving as if they were programmed in metronome-tight synchronicity, pre-determined to create imitations, mirrorings and counterpoints."
