Future Unreal

Future Unreal is commissioned by Struer Tracks with kind support form the Danish Arts Council (Statens Kunstfond).

The piece is devised during a period of rehearsals online held by the choir Side by Side and their conductor Sisse Skovbakke. The choir rehearsed without hearing each other, and the composer developed composition modules based on feedback from the conductor about the choir's progress in relation to trying out each module in their individual homes. Some of the text is collated from some of the singers' responses to questions sent by the composer - questions about the hopes and fears for the present and comign time, how they feel about their neighbourhood and how they move from their homes and their favourite places.
