Kristofer Svensson is a Swedish composer and kacapi musician. Svensson's work is situated in a context in which artistic, contemplative, and meditative practices merge. In the keyboard piece Som regn, sparse, harmonic events arise in a dynamic relationship with emptiness. Tuning harmonies justly and letting tones co-exist with extended sonic absences thematizes both the aperture and transperency of sound, as well as the equanimous ground of emptiness from which sounds emerge. The title Som regn (”like rain”), is both a reference to the mild, compassionate Dharma rain described in the Lotus Sūtra, as well as a metaphor for the steadfastness and indifference with which the sounds of this piece slowly punctuate the duration of time.
