Info for Sivelöv: Continuum

Improvisation recordings with Chinese traditional instruments and piano. Niklas Sivelöv and the Music Confucius Institute Ensemble in Copenhagen are building musical bridges between Western music, both Classical and Jazz and traditional Chinese music through the art of Improvisation. The traditional Chinese instruments pipa (lute), erhu (bowed string instrument), guqin and guzheng (7- and 21-stringed zithers), zhudi and xiao (end-blown and transverse flutes) not only add new dimensions of sound to the piano, but also bring the motifs and themes of their own traditional repertoire into the mix, resulting in an interplay of not only instrumental sounds, but also musical ideas and perspectives.
