Second movement is a play between variants and vaccines. Third movement pictures the devastating resolution with a hope for a better future. Composed in 2021. Together with a director friend of mine we have a script for a Roy Andersson type short movie based on this piece but didn't yet find a good film production company for it.

Suite No.1 for Halldorophone

Max Lilja

Very loosely inspired by the famous Bach cello suites. The suite features the keys of the Bach cello suites as the key notes. The recording is one track performed live, the natural sound of the instrument. Due to length of the piece playback takes a moment to load, be patient. 2016.
