about

Rhízōma, composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s debut album of recorded works, is steeped in the beautiful strangeness and exhilaration of that which is simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar. The uncanny blurring of “self” and “other” we find in nature, in people, in art, runs through the collection like a current, confronting us at every turn with both glacial inevitability and brilliant surprise, both overwhelming power and inviting intimacy. Gathered together here are three works for larger forces—the two smaller peaks of Hrím and Streaming Arhythmia for chamber ensemble framing the larger summit of Dreaming for orchestra—embraced by the gentler immediacy of Hidden for solo percussed piano, which streams through and around the larger works but springs from the same source, the same roots – roots of delicate sounds, of coalescence, of memory.
