Simon Christensen

If Simon Christensen's music is to be 'about' anything it could be pulse - and beauty. Several of his newer pieces have a touch of 70s-minimalism-hidden-slow-beat-transformation-pulse, where the music sets of in steady motion and from there move to new conditions of pulse in small, ongoing variations. Metaphorically, it's as sitting in a car moving forward in varying speeds, while the (sound) landscapes outside slowly changes in character".

    Who said that simplicity should be simple?

    Three albums with music for string quartet – and the likes – by Jürg Frey, Simon Christensen, and Anders Lauge Meldgaard each approach musical simplicity in their own way. But they aim for entirely different things with it.
