About this product
The psaltery is one of the oldest string instruments in human history. In the German-speaking world, it is described rather coarsely as a Hackbrett. In Farsi, it is known as a santur and in Hungarian a cimbalom (not far from the Italian word for harpsichord - cembalo). But in Italian, it lost it's first letter and was used for a multitude of elegant compositions as an obligato salterio. The fine, delicate sound of the struck strings is the focus of our newest production, with which the ensemble nuovo aspetto lives up to it's name. The musicians, led by virtuoso Inchtop strikerInch Elisabeth Seitz, perform a series of Romanesque rarities from a new perspective. Thanks to the subtle yet prominent solo instrument, they seem to have achieved weightlessness for a time.

What is the nature of the relationship between music and the wider reality that it exists within? Does art imitate life, or can life imitate art? Can the two meaningfully coexist? When a sound is taken from the real world and placed into a musical context, does it mean the same thing? Where does meaning come from, and how do we decide what a sound means? Henrik Hellstenius first began investigating these questions in 2007, with Places of Sound, a work composed for a choreographed performance at the Norwegian Opera and Ballet, that combined two singers, strings and sounds from the real world. Some years later, Hellstenius returned to this, exploring in more depth what he refers to as a Inchpolyphony of signsInch, bringing together the worlds of composed and found sounds and investigating their impact and effect on each other. On this recording he presents three works Places of Sounds and Words for Soprano, Ensemble and Electronics, Unfolded for Piano Trio, and Instrument of Speech for Ensemble and Electronics. Participating musicians are soprano Elisabeth Holmertz, and the ensembles Cikada and asamisimasa.
