How does Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe sound in tones? Or The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien? And how do the texts of Yoko Ono, Edith Södergran and Paul Auster sound translated into the language of music?
What does a book sound like? The Gothenburg Combo has been completely fulfilled by this question in recent years. To translate literature into a melody, into a sound, a sounding experience. It started with Gothenburg Combo’s own critically acclaimed record (and composition) “Seascapes” based on the duo’s Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas.
How can music affect your experience of a literary work? How can a literary work affect your experience of music?
The goal is to arouse curiosity and the joy of discovery before new experiences: I want to read more! I want to listen more!
Since then, The Gothenburg Combo has had the great joy of receiving no less than 34(!) completely newly written pieces from some of Sweden’s foremost composers in several different genres! You will meet several of these at this concert with one of the world’s leading guitar duos and a number of guests from the past music week at RAVINEN!
