26 September 2015 Trondheim Chamber Music festival concert at Gråmølna Analysis of To F: The work starts from nothing, a C with an overtone trill from ppp, and sul tasto. The tempo is so slow, and I need to create a very slow and gradual crescendo to forte. I have to force myself not to cut the time short, but…
Developing presence vlog
Developing presence practice blog 8 April 2015 I start my session just working on sitting and centring my attention. Attention on how my back is, am I sitting on my sitting bones?

Recording Solo suite and Tryllesangen by Lene Grenager The Solo suite was written for me in 2008, to be played together with the Bach solo suite in c-minor, both with the A string tuned to G.

Practice blog Khipukamayuk The harmonics, it’s a chord part – seven bars – I try to change the tension for each shift of chords to show the musical development. Then there is a melodic part, from bar 122. I try to feel the energy of smaller notes before the long ones as upbeats leading into the next – it creates…

Great comment in Klassekampen
Så derfor går jeg ned på T-banen for å lytte til «Khipukamayuk», en cd med musikk komponert av Lene Grenager og spilt av cellist Marianne Baudouin Lie, sammen med Trondheim Sinfonietta og dirigert av Trond Madsen i tittelverket på plata.
