The Angsudden Song Cycle is a collaborative project between the composer Michael McGinnis and Stockholm-based artist MuKha. MuKha created a cycle of paintings and poems inspired by Ängsudden, a point in the Swedish archipelago that juts into the Baltic Sea where sea collides with sky in dramatic ways. The poems were then set to music and will be performed by voice and a seven piece chamber ensemble comprised of wooden instruments that are either blown, plucked or struck.
The music was composed specifically for musicians who along with being great chamber music players are also great improvisors and explorers on their instruments.
