Carola Bauckholt: Ich muß mit Dir reden

"For me, Carola's music is all about communication and the interplay between different sounds and musical events. Perhaps this explains the title of this album: Ich muß mit Dir reden (We must talk). When you play her music you almost feel you are participating in a conversation, or some kind of social encounter. Music, in my view, is to a large extent grounded on sounds and their timbres, but these only acquire a truly musical function when they speak to one another and develop a relationship with one another. This strikes me as being what is really important in music." — Kenneth Karlsson

"Cikada had been playing my pieces for a couple of years before I finally had the chance to meet them in 2007 at a concert in Cologne. There they played Keil, a piece that everyone, including me, had largely forgotten after its premiere. They breathed new life into the piece, and I was even surprised myself. It's one of the best experiences when a piece takes on a life of its own and I meet up with it again after it has so to say "grown up". In 2009, I received a major commission from Cikada for the pieces Laufwerk and Sog, which shaped my work up to 2013. This commission was the beginning of my intensive involvement in the exciting new music scene in Norway, which continues until today." — Carola Bauckholt

"Carolas musik handlar för mig mycket om kommunikation och relationer mellan olika ljud och musikaliska händelser. Kanske just därför blev titeln på denna innspelningen Ich muß mit Dir reden. När man spelar hennes musik känns det nästan som att delta i ett samtal eller en social sammankomst. Musiken, tycker jag, är mycket baserat på ljud och klangfärg, men dom får en musikalisk funktion först när dom pratar med och har en relation med varann." — Kenneth Karlsson

"Cikada er som en familie for meg og som gir komposisjonene et perspektiv fra utsiden. De hadde spilt mine verk i et par år før jeg omsider fikk anledningen til å treffe dem – dette var på en konsert i Köln i 2007. Der spilte de Keil, et stykke som de fleste, meg selv inkludert, hadde faktisk glemt etter urfremføringen. De åndet nytt liv i dette stykket, og selv ble jeg overrasket. Det er en herlig opplevelse når et musikkstykke får sitt eget liv, og når jeg treffer det igjen etter at det har "blitt voksent", så å si. I 2009 mottok jeg en bestilling fra Cikada for verkene Laufverk og Sog, og mitt arbeid frem til 2013 ble sterkt preget av dette oppdraget. Dette var begynnelsen på mitt intense engasjement i samtidsmusikkmiljøet i Norge, et engasjement som fortsetter i dag." — Carola Bauckholt
