Layers of Love by  Cennet Jönsson

You approach the main square in Ystad. A few improvised notes become melodies that transport you to a world of rocking West African rhythms. The sound of soprano saxophone flies freely over boiling percussion and drums when Africa meets flamenco, and the music is enriched by the interwoven sounds of several instruments. The distance from Ystad to Dakar or Seville becomes negligible as a result of the musicians’ almost telepathic interplay. After an intensive flight, you are returned to the origin and land once again in free improvisation.
Layers of Love is a cyclic musical piece with several layers that combine music defined by notes with improvised music. The composer’s own perception of the beautiful main square in Ystad, with its old town hall and other surrounding buildings, as well as the traffic and pedestrian thoroughfares, etc. has had a major impact on the structure of the piece. The square has become a kind of geographical climax represented by the Afro-groove of the music and the ensemble playing in tutti.

Layers of Love is inspired by Ystad’s main square, Stortorget. With a smart phone and earphones, you can not only listen to the music as you walk around the square, but interact with it, as your route and surroundings influence the musical experience.
