"Fluctuating Streams was originally composed by Marja Ahti in 2020 as an electro-acoustic piece. In 2024, in collaboration with Blutwurst, the piece was 'translated' / re-arranged for acoustic instruments."

Marja Ahti has an exquisite pair of electroacoustic compositions for you. Sharper high frequency tones move like fine linework, with their smooth curved gestures complimenting the paths taken by complex timbres opening up new dimensions of movement. It's phenomenal!

Marja Ahti & Manja Ristić balance a rich soundworld atop a highwire, delicately distributing the motion so that it never tips, operating in a crystal clear air that hides nothing while also conveying the full weight of emptiness, honoring the majesty of the moves that carve into it with substance.
