A composer portrait signed Gageego!<\/h2>\n\n

  2. Fibres (2004)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Sondes (2009)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Far \u2026 (2011)<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    From the CD insert essay<\/h3>\n\n

    The key words here are \u2018map\u2019, \u2018colour\u2019 and, especially, \u2018drawing\u2019. They suggest ideas to do with lines and relationships, as well as forms of movement and spontaneity: means of navigation and orientation, the connecting of points, and the articulation of vertical and horizontal space.<\/p>\n\n

    When one talks at greater length with the composer, these are the concepts that the conversation keeps coming back to. And although some aspects of Isaksson\u2019s style and technique have evolved over the years \u2013 particularly her early use of microtones, which have been more or less absent from her music since the early 2000s \u2013 the fundamental 4 elements have remained relatively constant.<\/p>\n\n

    From Ici est ailleurs<\/em>, from 1998, to Infiltrations<\/em>, composed in 2022, this CD presents an oppor- tunity to examine the development and stability of those elements across almost the full span of Isaksson\u2019s career.<\/p>\n\n

    Atmospheric soundscape<\/h3>\n\n

    Producer Per Sj\u00f6sten has created a three-dimensional and evocative soundscape that is particularly effective in the Dolby Atmos edition (Apple Music and Tidal). Also available in 24 bit lossless stereo.<\/p>\n\n
