FALD - A pseudo-chamber-opera

From the premiere, Monday 17th of June, in Kammermusiksalen, Musikhuset Aarhus
Composition: Magnus Plejdrup Langgaard
Guitar: Niels Bach Storgaard
Percussion: Alexander Long Krogh
'FALD' is a chamber-opera developed collaboratively between composer Magnus Plejdrup Langgaard, the percussionist Alexander Long Krogh and the guitarist Niels Bach Storgaard. 'Pseudo' is, however, added to this genre-definition, because one of the main principles of developing the music has been to experiment with the border between when we perceive something as being a purely instrumental work, contrary to something quite different.
Tasty beats meets avant-garde improvisation.
Grunge-rock gets fragmentized while we destroy kitchen inventory. And Google Translate performs the soloist part.
Lyrics:
Jeg falder
Jeg er faldet
Jeg er faldende
Jeg faldt
Bruden spildte en klat persillesovs på sin sorte kjole
Du falder
Du falder i faldet
Du falder faldende i faldet
Er du faldet?
Hvis Adam har fire æbler, hvor mange har Eva så?
Vi falder
Og vælter ned oveni hinanden
I faldet
I alle vores fald
I alle faldene
I hvert fald
Selv onde mennesker defækerer
Selv onde mennesker skider
Vi faldt
Vi faldt op
I faldet
På et tidspunkt
Falder vi alle
Op
Hvorfor har du fældet mig?
Jeg er bange
For at falde
Ned
Hvis Adam har fire æbler, hvorfor spiste Eva dem så?
De faldt ud
I deres helt eget særartede fald
De faldt ud i manegen
Jægeren jagede slangen
Slangen faldt ud af smedens have
Fald!
Du kommer ikke udenom at falde
Fald!
Du skal falde
Fald!
I hvert fald kommer du ikke i himlen,
Du er her allerede.

I fall
I have fallen
I am falling
I fell
The bride spilled a blob of parsley sauce on her black dress
You fall
You are falling in the fall
You fall falling in the fall
Have you fallen?
If Adam has four apples, how many has Eve then?
We fall
And drop down on top of each other
In the fall
In all our falls
In all the falls
In every fall
Even evil people defecate
Even evil people shit
We fell
We fell up
In the fall
At some point
We all fall
Up
Why have you overthrown me?
I am afraid
Of falling
Down
If Adam has four apples, why did Eve eat them then?
They fell out
In their very own distinctive fall
They fell out in the manège
The hunter chased the snake
The snake fell out of the smith’s garden
Fall!
You can’t avoid falling
Fall!
You must fall
Fall!
In every fall you will not come to heaven,
You are here already.
