𝑨𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑺𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒐𝒐𝒏 (2024) is a new work composed by artist and composer Alexander Tillegreen for accordion, pedal steel guitar, piano and electronics, enveloped by a floating frame of spatialized, quadraphonic sound. In addition to these, sounds such as croaking frogs, creaking floors, whispers and breathing sounds are incorporated - all elements that envelop the audience, while psychoacoustic effects challenge your expectations and create a sense that you are part of the work's symbol-rich, atmospheric and sensory sound universe.
