Med udgangspunkt i kirkerummet har Lars Lundehave Hansen skabt REFORMATION, et surroundsound værk for elektronik og kor, skrevet til vokalgruppen Ars Nova. Højttalere og sangere er placeret rundt i rummet ud fra kirkens akustiske form, der er en integreret del af værket. Koret danner et vortex af koralsatser og elektronikken samler og accelerer værkets puls. Med katarsis som ideal søger REFORMATION at bibringe det intense og uventede, det overvældende og udmattende. Værket arbejder med brydninger på alle niveauer og skaber overraskende forløb og disharmoniske sammenstillinger, hvor harmonien brydes i ulmende flader af støj. Som en rumlen fra jordens kerne, der griber efter himlens hvælv.

Taking the church space as his starting point, Lars Lundehave Hansen has created REFORMATION, a surround sound work for electronics and choir written for the vocal group Ars Nova. Loudspeakers and singers are placed throughout the room according to the architectural and acoustic form of the church, which is an integral part of the work. The choir forms a vortex of choral textures while the electronics gather and accelerate the pulse of the work. REFORMATION seeks to deliver the intense and unexpected, the overwhelming and exhausting, with catharsis as the ultimate goal. The work operates with ruptures on every level, creating surprising progressions and disharmonic collisions where harmony breaks into smoldering surfaces of noise - like a rumble from the earth's core reaching for the vault of heaven.
What you can expect in 3 words: Spiritual - Choral - Revelation
