Reprise Icarus
Directed by Paola Paleari and Magnus Frederik Clausen, 2019.
Music: Reprise III by SOLW
Composed by Heine Thorhauge Mathiasen (guitar) & Sonja LaBianca (saxophone)
This piece was premiered at Copenhagen Contemporary in as part of the program for G((o))ng Tomorrow – an annual festival in Copenhagen for new, experimental music and sound art that cut across genres and take up encounters with other art forms.
SOLW was formed in 2017 and has since performed on the music and art scene in Japan, Denmark and Europe. US tour coming up Spring 2021.
The music of SOLW presents itself as a suite of pieces exploring the interplay between melodically abrupt improvisations and saturated washes of sound. Sax and guitar are both amplified. At times volume leaves room for the acoustic sound of the instruments and gives the impression of dynamic variation from drone-like ballads to high intensity noise.
