David Kollar & Arve Henriksen - A Sense of Destiny (2022)

“Over time David and Arve managed to create a specific sound language of their own, which is beautifully reflected in this recording. It goes way beyond just the music, and could be very well described as sound painting, sound sculpting or perhaps sound dancing, with its cross-media concept, that it creates, at least in my perception.

The music flows unhurried, as if freed from the fourth dimension and rhythmic patterns, like wind, which blows gently and unpredictably. It is up to the listener to become part of the process of creation and setting the pace, by which these sound collages take shape within or between the brain cells.

The beauty of this music is like an elixir, which hopefully might cure or at least reduce the suffering, to which all of us are exposed in the world that surrounds us: loneliness, estrangement, desperation, futility… destiny? Music, after all, makes life worth living. As always, the magicians / alchemists behind this sound potion have my eternal gratitude.”
