Maja S. K. Ratkje Svartskog, Norway
“Anyone who has seen or heard Ratkje perform live will know what a superb musician she is, and one who can genuinely be said
to be extending the expressive range of the voice through technical and technological means. Her work is celebratory and inclusive, an energising rallying call to those who are curious enough to peek out from behind the curtain of mainstream mediocrity.”

Lost and Found
by J. Pavone String Ensemble
supported by 10 fans who also own “Vannstand - Bergen A”
This is an unusual string quartet – with two cellists and two violinists. The lines of their instruments clash, overlap, build a quasi-resonant echo or sinusoidal forms, harmonize, but also verge upon Penderecki-style horror. Yet this is not a conceptual digression, but a complete composition that requires the listener’s attention throughout – and the result is perfect.
