Recommendations from the team behind ELNA: Sofia Sahlin and Siri Landgren.

Cecilia Damström – Aino (2018)

Maria W Horn – Ave (2018)
"Maria W Horn's Ave features a speaking voice as its musical center. The voice is cycled through different kinds of processing, while still remaining the human core around which crisp, sometimes brutal synthetic sounds orbit. A hypnotic, flawlessly produced piece."
Siri Landgren

Agneta Sköld – Kyrie, Gloria (1990)

Agneta Sköld – Sanctus (1990)

Kajsa Magnarsson – Strap-on and Electric Guitar (2015)
"This playful work enacts an encounter between two phallic objects not often seen in the same context: a sex toy and an electric guitar. The piece showcases Magnarsson's knack for identifying areas of cultural tension and setting them in musical motion."
Siri Landgren

Elfrida Andrée – Piano quartet in A minor (1865)

Rosali Grankull – Identitetshandlingar i C-dur (2019)
"An orchestral work that sounds anything but symphonic. Rather than a tight unit synchronized under the conductor's baton, the orchestra becomes a teeming mass of sound – most of it frictional, hissing or percussive. Only toward the end the musicians are gathered in a massive C major chord lasting a full minute. The piece was awarded the 2023 Lilla Christ Johnson-priset award."
