hcmf// writes on their site:
Cikada Ensemble returns to hcmf// to present the world premiere of a new work by hcmf// Composer in Residence Maja S K Ratkje – a notated piece using Ratkje’s distinctive, extreme vocal improvisations as a source. Works by Gérard Pesson and British composer Sam Hayden, whose piece was commissioned by oboist Chris Redgate as part of a series of new works written to explore the possibilities of an instrument he has specially adapted to the demands of contemporary repertoire, complete the programme.
Produced by hcmf// supported by British Council; also supported by Music Information Centre Norway and the Norwegian Embassy
