Jacobsen Songs Recording in Hansa Studios

On the first weekend of May 2023, my first three songs on poetry of Rolf Jacobsen were recorded with One Earth Orchestra and the Scottish-Maltese Soprano Carine Tinney by the renowned sound engineer Guy Sternberg in Hansa Studios Berlin. The music is currently awaiting release.

A cycle of songs based on Poems by Rolf Jacobsen

From May to Oktober 2022, with the help of a six-month-long composition scholarship by Musikfonds, I was able to compose a cycle of songs based on poems of the Norwegian poet Rolf Jacobsen for One Earth Orchestra and the Scottish/Maltese soprano Carine Tinney. In the songs that alternate between classical-contemporary style and Jazz, I use the Jazz-voice of our cellist Julia Biłat in conjunction with Carine Tinneys classical soprano to embody those different musical genres and express the fine nuances present in the poetry.
I am especially excited to announce that the songs will be recorded in May and a music video funded by Deutscher Musikrat will follow!
