cinder   6/10/2008   A Library, CD

Maja Ratkje is a vocalist and composer based in Norway. Also part of the group, Fe-Mail. This release has pieces recorded from over the past 10 years. Electronic noise, beautiful vocal insanities, classical sounding accordians, vivacious violins…very amazing!
From Tzadik: “Her work ranges from orchestral and chamber works to electronics, improvisation and creative combinations of all of the above. This special collection of Maja???s work showcases several aspects of this composer???s unique and intense approach to sound and features two of her most personal chamber works along with electronic and electro-acoustic works for voice, saxophone and more.”
