Mark Solborg TUNGEMÅL : Confluencia

A reunion of unique musical voices

Beautiful melodies, odd grooves and vast textures formulated with nerve and a certain friction by some of Scandinavia’s most innovative players. 

How do we speak musically - alone and with others - in different languages? Solborg seeks to investigate, illustrate and raise awareness of the continuous cross-cultural inter humane debate, towards a more varied and complex perspective of the world. Cherishing each other’s differences and multiple talents. The confluence knowledge and resources - of individual voices. A conversation that becomes increasingly important if we are to solve the challenges of our society and species. 

With his multilingual Danish/Argentinian background, travels, work and studies all over the world Solborg has experienced how the words, our idioms and mother tongues are deeply connected with our view of ourselves and the way we resonate with the surrounding world. 

The TUNGEMÅL (meaning idiom or tongue) platform is concerned with the guitar as a speaking voice in contemporary chamber musical contexts. With this comprehensive project Solborg wishes to elaborate the intimate listening experience, and develop methods and tools for the creative work at hand. An extensive artistic study and qualifying awareness of the modern guitar in interplay with acoustic instruments, and the musical spaces they inhabit. 

In this next adventure Solborg’s music is handled by a wonderful and starry gathering of some of finest musicians around. Intense, energetic, poetic and beautifully balanced in dynamics and timbre. An exceptional chamber-musical experience.
