Explorations of continuity and discontinuity are central to Danish composer Kasper Rofelt’s (born 1982) aesthetic. Dichotomy, the aptly – named album title work, presents a challenge, combining contrasting and even incompatible materials. This can be heard across this album, which features new chamber works by Rofelt including a great variety of musical characters and idioms. Kasper Rofelt is a student of Bent Sørensen and Per Nørgård. His music often relies on small collections of materials and a large amount of repetition as well as a big musical curiosity and imagination.
