Troll from Circles by Lea Gasser 5tet
In the middle of Iceland's rugged expanse, between gusts of wind, glaciers and glowing rock, ‘Troll’ was born – a piece about the raw power of nature, its elemental force and its dignity.
In Iceland, you can feel the earth breathing – moving inexorably, regardless of our plans. Volcanoes erupt, the light never fades, the wind carries stories from the past. And sometimes you get the feeling that something is awakening in the mountains: an ancient creature perhaps, a troll making itself heard. ‘Troll’ thrives on energy, tension and friction – but also on wonder. We allow the music to unfold like nature itself: unpredictable, intense and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful.
