Compositional Technique
Lo Kristenson's piece PULS (2017, rev. 2019) has a freer form, giving musicians room to influence the music and share musical responsibility.

Damkapellet stands in opposition to the patriarchal classical music tradition and its hierarchical forms of creation.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded at KoncertKirken, Copenhagen, in 2020 and produced by Sebastian Vinther Olsen.
Compositional Technique
In Kirstine Lindemann's Further & Back (2015, rev. 2020), musicians start together but fall out of unison due to human error in counting repetitions, creating an interconnected cacophony.
