Anna Thorvaldsdottir: - AURA -

Scores

Reviews

Four percussionists unfolded a dark magical atmosphere in Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s “Aura”; with gently brushed sounds of a drumhead, with vibraphones stroked by bows and with further mysterious sensations.
Rainer Koehl, Die Rheinpfalz

This is music of wonder, filled with sustained, consoling sounds that have lots of space between them. Totally magical in its multi-dimensionality, AURA virtually glows from within. Far too wondrous to be pigeonholed as “meditative”, AURA is one of the compositions in which you’ll discover new things – new worlds, even – with repeated listening.
