Copenhagen composer and multireedist Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard works by multiplying instruments over and over, transcending familiar jazz and classical conventions and creating a pure new sound without reference. This extract is taken from his 2013 album Sikorsky, a 30 minute piece featuring eight bass clarinets, four double basses and four drum kits. His work has also led him into some high profile collaborations: he recently worked with MoMA, composing a number of sound pieces for their René Magritte exhibition.
