“You are not influenced by me, rather I am influenced by you”, wrote Shostakovich to Galina Ustvolskaya. Her use of clusters of instruments, his rhythmic sparseness and his dynamic accents remain a constant source of inspiration. Sofia Jernberg is part of a new generation of pioneers. In her vocal explorations, use of timbre and instrumental work, she gives rise to mesmerizing, original and extremely delicate tones, while letting improvisation and intuition play an important part in her performances.
