A song cycle for soprano and two trombones, setting seven European poems written between the twelfth and twentieth centuries in six languages. Entirely acoustic, Innerland was recorded in one take at Funkhaus Berlin.

Innerland is a story about a journey. The travelogue of this journey reads like a voyage of a fragmented psyche through the paysage of dreams.

Victoria Jordanova

The seven songs

The Tiger William BlakeGriechenland Friedrich HölderlinPer mezzi’ boschi inhospiti Francesco PetrarchL’alba Raimbaut de VaqueirasQuerido manso mio Lope de VegaEn la forêt de longue attente Charles d’OrléansThe Second Coming W. B. Yeats

The cycle runs as fifteen gapless tracks: the seven songs, seven incises built from material extracted from them, and a final track, Confins. Any track can be played on its own, in any order.
