The norwegian percussionist and cimbalist Hans-Kristian Kjos S\u00f8rensen releases his debut solo album on Ultron. This award winning norwegian artist is internationally recognized for his versatile and creative performances, never ceasing to control the colours, rhythms and harmonic possibilities that his percussion instruments have to offer.<\/p>\n

Hearing Things<\/em> is simply an unique collection of classics and future classics in the repertoire of solo percussion. The album is centered around four unique composers \u2013 Per N\u00f8rg\u00e5rd from Denmark, the norwegian Henrik Hellstenius, the french\/greek Iannis Xenakis and the american John Cage \u2013 as well as S\u00f8rensen\u00b4s own musical contemplations, where he tries to mirror his musical life against theirs.<\/p>\n

All four of them are highly spiritual and different musical personalities, who also see and relate to music differently.

This is something HKKS draws upon, in order to illustrate what he thinks about music as a pluralistic expression. Here is everything from the carefully calculated and powerful ritual represented through Xenakis, the timeless tranquility that rises out of Isternia<\/em> by N\u00f8rg\u00e5rd, the playful and theatrical Readings of Mr.G <\/em>by Hellstenius and the intuitive and ambient \u201dIn a Landscape\u201d by John Cage.<\/p>\n
