FOUR ROOMS - Claus Carlsen/Kristine Suhr
For this project we really wanted to create something different.
The music is not light entertainment - it is improvisations with eyes closed. The instruments are cowhorns, sea-shells, curtain of forks, saxophones and arco bass. Four Rooms is the title because each of the four locations, where the music was recorded, had a tone which strongly influenced the music that was played.
The album cover designed by Kristine Suhr opens to a three-dimensional space with Claus Carlsen hanging from a thread.
The people who had worked towards the release of Four Rooms met around a long table one Sunday morning. When two assembly lines where in place director Hans Rønne read the short-story "Portræt af avantgarden" by Peter Høeg to accompany the sound of hands folding and gluing paper.
