The theme
of this work is man &
machine, as commissioned
by Michael Nicolas. The
theme is represented in
that the Cellist becomes
both in the piece man
& machine where man
indicates performing
expressively with
emotion, and a musical
approach to the music,
and machine indicates
more precise rhythmic and
technical accuracy, a
somewhat stricter
approach to the music.
These two approaches
gradually transition from
one to another throughout
the work. Anna
Thorvaldsdottir
frequently works with
large sonic structures
that tend to reveal the
presence of a vast
variety of sustained
sound materials,
reflecting her sense of
imaginative listening to
landscapes and nature.
Her music tends to
portray a flowing world
of sounds with an
enigmatic lyrical
atmosphere.
