Copenhagen Clarinet Choir and Carolyn Goodwin:

Irish musician Carolyn Goodwin presents a cycle of newly composed songs, originally written on guitar and now reimagined and transformed through the pulsating, interweaving textures of the Copenhagen Clarinet Choir.

Copenhagen Clarinet Choir is a new music ensemble that takes an egalitarian approach, where interdependent parts find an overall shape as organically as a living entity. Much like a choir, the individual voices of the six homogenous instruments are synergized, creating a warm, pulsating body of sound. The result is a profound timbral symbiosis, sculpted by the nuances of the clarinet.

The Irish woodwind player Carolyn Goodwin is a key figure in the Danish contemporary, experimental, and improvised music scene. Her compositional voice draws on minimalism, folk tradition, and modal improvisation, creating music that is both spacious and emotionally resonant. She founded the ensemble Copenhagen Clarinet Choir, with whom she released the album Organism on the label År & Dag in September 2022. Described as “craniosacral therapy for the ears,” Organism garnered widespread acclaim and international radio play and received an honorable mention in the "Best of 2022" list by the New York City Jazz Record.

On his latest solo release, Drømmene (The Dreams), saxophonist and composer Henrik Pultz Melbye explores his dreams—the places they take him and the emotions and memories they evoke. The music is an attempt to recreate the multifaceted feelings and images that dreams often unconsciously bring forth in him. The track titles, such as Stranden (The Beach), Skoven (The Forest), and Vejen (The Road), reference places that, in the dreams, conjure ambiguous emotions of hope, powerlessness, anxiety, and joy.
As a one-man band, he uses saxophones, EWI (a synthesizer saxophone), loops, and effects to create an ambient, cinematic world that spans from noise to meditative music. The music moves slowly, with no demand for direction or intention of resolution, offering a space where you don’t need to do anything but just be. Some might call it wellness music with an edge....
