MUSIC IN BETWEEN LUSH SOUNDSCAPES, CINEMATIC HARMONIES AND RYTMIC STRUCTURES.

MIKA FORSLING

ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN AND COMPOSER

NEWS

The music and performance installation S.O.S by MØR collective wins an REUMERT and are performing at Homo Novus in Riga and at AFUK in Copenhagen. 


"The audio experience is quite remarkable in itself. Since there is more music than dialogue, the music can be considered the play’s glue, binding the visual elements together. The music is both catchy and moving, and it surprises by spanning such a diverse range of genres. Here is a tempo and a tone for all of life’s different moments and activities: it is the soundtrack of life. Composer Mika Forsling plays his original music on stage throughout the performance – from the ethereal, over steam organ circus vibes, to pulsating techno, a number played on a saw with a violin bow, to intoxicating Weimar cabaret."

Mona von Burgwald, Magasinet Konst


IDIOLEKT by Forsling&Hauch are OUT NOW!


On ‘Idiolekt’, Forsling&Hauch has created a rare fusion of electronica, minimalism, improvisation and club-oriented music. Recorded live in the legendary @tambourinestudios in Malmö, Idiolekt is an instrumental universe where analog and modular synths meet groovy drums and percussion. Long minimalistic motives modulates over time, and evolves into almost orchestral textures.

The album title “Idiolekt” refers to the singularity that makes us all unique as humans. With the album Forsling&Hauch wants to awaken the listener’s own associations, and create a space where the listener can create their own narrative and open up to the submission of the moment. The album where released both digitally, and as double vinyl, on the record label Paltunes on April 26th. Distributed by: Aloaded

Listen to "Ser du mig" on Spotify:

https://open.spotify.com/album/0d6s4UbYpi1S7soTBi1yT0?si=6IAQs0NwT8ur_oIva78h0g

Written about my compositions and sound design for the theatre piece SER DU MIG, teater GROB, Copenhagen:


”Mika Forsling’s compositions are worth particular mention. In close harmony with what is happening on stage, his poetic soundscape greatly enhances the audience’s experience of the performance.” – Kira Bach Pedersen, Scenekanten


 ”In addition, the play’s sound design, created by Mika Forsling, gives it a very special feel. The soundscape is terrifying and vibrates through your whole body when the focus is on the fall and on poverty.” – Anna Sharko, Den 4e Væg
