Disappearer

"Forsvindere 2" by Mads Emil Dreyer serves as the enchanting opener to the album. Unfolding like a fairy tale, its nursery rhyme-like quality is woven through the gentle chiming of the celesta and the steady, simple pulse of the vibraphone. However, it also exudes the essence of frozen music, glistening and slowly thawing under a cool winter sun. Comprising four pieces – two titled "Forsvindere" and two titled "Vidder" – the album seamlessly combines a small ensemble of acoustic instruments with live electronics. The electronic components feature brief snippets of the live instruments, sampled in real-time during the performance, then looped and projected back. These loops, reflecting the live musicians onto themselves, gradually build up layers of sound reminiscent of the layers of an ice palace.
