Through a Network

Through a network of illuminated streets brings together the best chamber music from Martin Rane Bauck's classical middle period (2013-17) points towards the 2020s. This music is characterized by drowsy states and subtle humor. It is more mumbled than articulated, and is perhaps reminiscent of staring at falling snow through a window, only to be interrupted by the occasional thud as your forehead crashes against the glass. This recording is Bauck's first collaboration with the award-winning Ensemble neon, and also includes interpretations from renowned Bauck experts Heather Roche and Ole Martin Huser-Olsen. Martin Rane Bauck is a Norwegian composer who has mainly worked with acoustic chamber music. In addition to his artistic work, he has been active in organizing the music festival Ung Nordisk Musikk and was also instrumental in starting the contemporary music ensemble Aksiom in 2010 and in 2016 the concert series Periferien in Oslo. In 2005 he was the Norwegian national champion in fraction mathematics.
