Bengt Hambraeus ‎– Constellations II For Organ Sounds – Interferences For The Organ

Bengt Hambræus has made a name for himself as one of the pivotal figures of the new music in Sweden. His profound artistic force has mainly been channelled through a daring bid to renew the means of expression. He was the first Swedish composer to work in an electronic music studio. His organ compositions developed in unheard of directions. In his orchestral compositions he applied new principles of “music in space” (with different groups of instruments stationed at different points in the auditorium). His fine sense of the suggestive, composite qualities of musical sound leaves its mark on all his compositions, not least his chamber music. It is perhaps above all to percussion instruments, e.g. bells, gongs, cymbals etc. that he has given an individual language.
