Echoes of the Fjords

Echoes of the Fjords ble skrevet til festkonserten under European Brass Band Championships 2025, arrangert i Stavanger i 2025. Verket åpnet konserten og ble komponert for tubasolist August Schieldrop.
Stykket er skrevet som et rent soloverk, uten akkompagnement, og henter inspirasjon fra norsk folkemusikktradisjon.
Verket er ment fremført med mikrofon og delay-effekt, der delayen skal skildre ekkoene som klinger mellom dalsøkkene i Rogaland. Stykket kan også fremføres akustisk uten elektronikk.
