About the Event
Join us on a journey through the unknown dimensions of sound with three works commissioned by and written for Cikada:
Liza Lim – Winding Bodies: 3 Knots (2014)Inspired by old Nordic sailor tales of “buying the wind” in knots, Lim weaves sonic threads into a musical network where tension, friction, and release create a poetic journey between clarity and confusion.
Liza Lim – Ghosts Make Form (2024) (World Premiere)An atmospheric piece for cello and piano that conjures echoes of vanished forms and memories. Lim explores how ghosts and memories shape music, where fleeting tremors and shudders open spaces for the mysterious and the unpredictable.
Jan Martin Smørdal – All Play 2 (2025) (World Premiere)Using homemade instruments, feedback loops, and cyclical patterns, Smørdal challenges the musicians to move beyond the written score. All Play 2 balances control and chaos, inviting both performers and audience into a playful and dynamic musical landscape.
Welcome to a concert experience where sound ties us together across time, space, and imagination!
