Maja S.K. Ratkje- And Sing ...Oslo Sinfonietta, Maja S.K. Ratkje & Cikada

About This Movie

This piece blurs the lines between performance and recording in a fascinating way. Maja S.K. Ratkje's voice, which she uses with a delicate touch, is layered over the ensemble work of CIKADA and the Oslo Sinfonietta. There's a haunting quality to it, especially in tracks like 'And sing while thou on pressed flowers dost sleep' where her pre-recorded voice mingles with the live musicians. It creates this ethereal atmosphere that feels both intimate and expansive. The pacing is uneven but it serves the mood well, drawing you into a contemplative space. The whole thing feels innovative, a real exploration of sound, blending the organic with the mechanical. A true experience for those who appreciate avant-garde music.

Unique blend of pre-recorded and live performance.Atmosphere is both haunting and intimate.Innovative approach to sound and composition.
