Previously unreleased

Anna Fišere is a Latvian composer working in the areas of chamber music, opera, music for choir and vocal ensembles, instrumental solo pieces, duos, electroacoustic music and sound installations. Fascinated by the most intricate properties of sound, she approaches it as a live organism that embodies a musical form in itself. Her work is often created in close collaboration with musicians, exploring the timbral, textural and technical possibilities of each instrument that eventually lead to meticulously designed sonic architectures. Inspired by the mysteries of nature, she engages them in conversation through her music in which she strives to collide disciplined rationality and scientific research with feminine intuition and sensitive plasticity.
