Can a book be translated into sound? On the basis of Ursula Le Guin?s science fiction classic The Left Hand of Darkness the composer Erik Dahl has created a musical suite. It is a journey into the universe of the book. Crisp and evocative projections add a visual dimension. A cinematic concert experience in the borderlands between chamber music, jazz and space pop. The music is written for sextet, but they have occasionally performed in smaller constellations. Sometimes that is a good option. They perform the music with or without the projections depending on the situation. Don?t hesitate to enjoy the strong melodic lines form the centre of a rich musical landscape.
