| John Tchicai composed »Hulemusik« – translated: Cave Music – for a concert in the cave Klæmintsgjógv. In addition to this suite additional works were created for this concert on June 26th, 2000, recorded here. During the last few years, Birgir Enni, skipper of the vessel »Norðlýsið«, and Kristian Blak have arranged trips with musicians and audiences to caves, into which – weather permitting – one can enter in smaller boats. These concerts have taken place in collaboration with the festival Summartónar, which brings, in addition to local performers, visiting musicians into these very special concert halls, utilizing the unique acoustics and the natural surrounding sounds in the grottos as integral parts of the music. In 1984 the first grotto concert with music by Kristian Blak, Concerto Grotto, was performed in another cave – Líðargjógv, Sandoy – by the group Yggdrasil, featuring John Tchicai, and recorded on the same occasion. A recording of »Forwards and Backwards« composed for and performed by The Esbjerg Ensemble with John Tchicai on September 17th, 1990 is included in this release. |
