Steamdome III: Beyond The End

Description

In "Beyond The End," Ola Kvernberg combines rhythmic energy with symphonic power in a work that transcends conventional musical genres. Following the critically acclaimed "Steamdome II: The Hypogean" in 2021, Kvernberg expands his ensemble with the 60 musicians of the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra. The result is a 62-minute journey that defies genres, where Kvernberg invites classical tradition into a modern dance between electric storms and symphonic crescendos, breakbeats, synthesizers, timpani, flutes, and electronics at an unparalleled level. Ola Kvernberg, one of the most versatile Norwegian musicians and composers of our time, is an extraordinary jazzman and folklorist. "Beyond The End" is an interstellar journey with musical nods to artists such as Krzysztof Penderecki, The Prodigy, Arvo Pärt, John Coltrane, Gustav Mahler, The Kyteman Orchestra, Maurice Ravel, Steve Reich, The Heliocentrics, Igor Stravinsky, Underworld, Sons Of Kemet, and Hamlet Gonashvili.
