Omschrijving

"Early one morning, I sat down by my piano and played Interlude, 
then recently composed. When I heard the final chord ringing, 
I heard another melody with chords that I played over and over again. 
It then struck me that it would be fine with different instruments, 
one after the other playing the tune and also joined by a choir 
singing without words. I also teach music at the Arts Programme 
at Hvitfeldtska Upper Secondary School in Göteborg. So I presented 
the idea to the young musicians and asked them if they were willing 
to take part in the recording of a Album. The idea was met with great 
enthusiasm and so we went to Nilento Studio. 
The recording was done in a happy atmosphere and the young musicians
played and sang incredibly well. It was a wonderful experience 
and I do hope to be able to do more recordings with them." – Tommy Kotter
