two skies by maya bennardo, erik blennow calälv, kristofer svensson
'two skies' is the first recording of an ongoing collaboration between violinist Maya Bennardo, bass clarinetist Erik Blennow Calälv, and kacapi musician Kristofer Svensson. Bringing together different musical praxis—contemporary classical, free improvisation, and Sundanese music—the result is a hybrid form of chamber music between composition and improvisation. The sounds are deeply anchored in justly tuned modalities, while freely engaged in their momentary complexities.
