Three years have passed since the critically lauded 'Steamdome II: The Hypogean' etched its mark on Norwegian music history. Now, Kvernberg amplifies his sound with the addition of 60 musicians from the Trondheim Symphony, ignites the graviton train, and sets his sights on catapulting us into the stratosphere - Beyond The End. The premiere offering is 'Monolith' - the symphony's climactic movement:
— When I embarked on the symphony, I surprisingly started with the finale. In my quest for a pivotal moment, I found myself gravitating towards a musical critical mass. This emerged through an airy but weighty, off-kilter and breakbeat-inspired drum groove, one that resonated harmoniously with the boundless spectrum of instruments at my disposal. This unique confluence of sounds and rhythms didn't just provide a setting for individual brilliance but, more significantly, fostered a synergistic environment where the band and the orchestra could flourish together.
In the upcoming album 'Beyond the End', Ola Kvernberg blends rhythmic vitality with symphonic force in a composition that defies every music genre norm. "Monolith" is the culmination of three movements, where Kvernberg extends an invitation to the classical domain for a modern dance amidst electric squalls and symphonic surges of adrenaline.
