Product Information

First released on CD in 2002 and now available on vinyl for the first time, this is a central release in the catalogue and has been a steady seller on CD. An essential item in any record collection of experimental music. Composer, singer, electronic manipulator and sometimes violinist and theremin player Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje has exceptionally impressive credentials. Her compositions have been performed in more than 30 countries. Performers include distinguished ensembles such as the Oslo Sinfonietta and Cikada and Vertavo string quartets. Her teachers have included great contemporary composers like Sofia Gubaidulina, Louis Andriessen, Klaus Huber and Kaija Saariaho, and her own works have won international and Norwegian prizes. She has recorded and performed with, among others, Ikue Mori, Zeena Parkins, Sylvie Courvoisier, Lasse Marhaug, Paal Nilssen-Love and of course SPUNK, the all female impro quartet she co-founded over 15 years ago and who have released six albums on Rune Grammofon.
