Ind og ud af drømmeland

Fandt mig ikke umiddelbart fanget af de første numres drømmende electronica. Men måske det netop var planen: at lulle mig ind i en form for indifferent tryghed i de elektroniske lyde, for pludselig blev jeg lysvågen og opmærksom, da en klarinets sprøde træklang på tracket »Delicate Memories« gav mig kuldegysninger.

Mønsteret fortsætter det meste af resten af albummet, et gennembehageligt og ufarligt univers af syntetiske lyde, der lejlighedsvis får besøg fra den organiske verden. Højdepunkterne er, foruden føromtalte track, »Fantasia Night«, hvor fuglekvidder spiller en birolle, og »Midnight Angel«, hvor englen med kvindestemmer synger til os.

Og så bliver der skruet op for tempo og intensitet på de sidste tre numre med energi til at skubbe os ud af den drømmetrance, resten af albummet forsøger at sætte os i. Ikke banebrydende, men helt igennem behageligt.

»To me, music is love. I love how music allows you to skip the small talk and connect directly with people’s innermost selves. It is an extraordinary and moving way to meet one another.«

Fenja wrote her first song at the age of twelve – about a polar bear dying due to climate change – and themes of existentialism, nature, and her own sensitive nature came to define the lyrics and sound she has since developed. She released her debut album, Flugtdyr, in 2021, and in February 2026, she released the album Menneskedyr.

On Wednesday, 5 August 2026, it happened again: a chord in John Cage’s Organ2/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) changed after two and a half years. Classic FM reports.

The work was written by the American avant-garde composer John Cage in the mid-1980s. The score consists of eight pages of music, and, as the title suggests, the instruction is to play it »as slow as possible.«

»What music is to me? Where have the great feelings gone?«.
