Vi blev inviteret ind i P2s studie til Spil Dansk-dagen for at spille live i radioen forleden. En del af 'opgaven' var at lave en fortolkning af Anne Linnets 'Smuk og Dejlig' man kan finde radioindslaget på DR Lyd, men her er en lille telefonoptagelse fra øveren.
Der findes nærmest ingen bedre følelse, end når musikere og publikum sammen bliver opløst i musikken. Måden man begynder at trække vejret i takt, holde på det i stille passager – det er dét vi lever og ånder for; følelsen af at være en del af noget større.
Man kommer ikke meget længere væk fra den følelse, end ved at lægge ens hjerteblod op i en nyhedsstrøm af ligegyldighed og splittelse, eller den hule fornemmelse af at lægge måneders hårdt arbejde op på streamingtjenester og se det blive reduceret til tal og værdiløshed.
Denne platform repræsenterer et håb for en mere meningsfuld måde at komme ud med alt det, der sker mellem koncerterne, og vi er enormt glade for at være med på rejsen.
Dybfølt kh, Mathæus og Kirstine
Hi there, and welcome!
I’m Anna Kruse, a Swedish-Danish singer based in Copenhagen. For more than twenty years, I’ve been writing music and melodies inspired by the beautiful poetry of Edith Södergran. Her words feel as fresh and relevant today as ever, and I’ve made it my mission to help spread them to more ears and hearts around the world.
I’m hoping this platform can bring me a bit closer to you — the people who actually listen to the music. The songs live somewhere between jazz and folk, with room for both reflection and spontaneity.
Can’t wait to share it all with you!
A shared fascination for the underrated and overlooked Danish composer Rued Langgaard brought us together in this duo. There is something special about his music which transcends genres and traditions and lends itself to a wide variety of personal interpretations. We dived into his music by listening to recordings and transcribing them by ear, trying to distill each composition down to its essence (sometimes this would mean boiling a whole symphony down to a single page of melody and chords) and then approaching it in a new light, as if it was a piece of folk music. Creative choices has to be made when you are trying to play orchestral pieces with this unusual combination of cello and double bass, but we were elated by the intimate way in which these instruments speak together. It quickly escalated and suddenly we had enough material for an entire album. There is something deeply satisfying engaging with music in a tangible way, and while we could have made a CD or a vinyl record we chose to make it a book, because there are so many deeply interesting and dramatic stories surrounding Langgaards life. His music absolutely stands for itself, but it becomes even better once you dive into who he was as a person, how he was treated by his contemporaries, and how he was almost erased from history.
The music speaks for itself on this one. Music for pleasure
Spoket offers an entrancing blend of electronic textures and ethereal vocals, weaving an atmosphere both haunting and immersive. Each track on the release, from the hypnotic pulse of “Dots” to the fractured rhythms of “Splint,” draws listeners deeper into Jullie’s sonic universe. The title track, “Spoket,” stands as a darkly shimmering centerpiece, capturing the album’s essence of mystery and introspection, while “Var Non Stans” closes the journey with a sense of boundless momentum.
Here’s something for a rainy day: SWEET THUNDER – a fully improvised piece born from one stormy May afternoon, with thunder rolling, rain falling, and the sun peeking through in streaks.
Filmed by Daniel Buchwald at KLEIN in Copenhagen and recorded by August Wanngren of Oui Music, this live video captures the spirit of that moment. Let it take you there, wherever you are.

I wanted to share this beautiful film "Dagny" by Peter Lopes with my song Båden. Dagny lives with her father in a small village where the people offer apples to the god Thor for protection against the dangerous giants. When Dagny takes a bite of the sacred apples, she provokes Thor’s wrath. Dagny manages to escape into the forest, where she befriends one of the giants. But when Thor threatens to make her father take her punishment, she has no choice but to return to the village and face the mighty thunder god.
