about

In From and to Infinity, a four-part composition by Niels Brouwer, let yourself be carried by the waves to the Moluccan Island of Ambon. The sea, voiced by the organ, connects it to the rest of the world. Prepare yourself for a journey of contrasts and parallel universes. Experience singing in an ancient language, the ferocious breath of the organ, the microtonal keys of Balinese gendèr, the bright strumming on the guitar and West African kora, an unbound recorder, and a gritty e-guitar with percussion. It is acoustic versus electronic, mechanical versus organic, spherical versus rhythmic
