Isak Edberg is a composer of electronic and acoustic music. His music is informed by an enchantment of being and a search for holiness, rapture and transcendence through stillness, contemplation, dreaming and an attempt to uphold the present. Edberg regards his music to be an adornment of time.

Belt of Orion is a piece that explores the contrast of two musical textures, the one being fluid, airy and progressive, the other being more static, steady and repetitive. The music sequences through a series of harmonic tensions in search of a place of peace, exposing a rift in the weave of time where everything momentarily stands still. 







The piece is performed by the renowned Swedish pianist Mats Persson, who has for many decades been a legend in the art music scene of Stockholm. Through his languid yet distinct interpretations the delicacy and intimacy of these works are elegantly brought to the fore. 

Isak Edberg's music moves slowly through the seemingly endless world that is harmonic sound. In his practice he uses heavily reduced and carefully controlled materials to create states of maximum clarity.

Mats Persson has since long conducted an extensive concert activity with tours in Sweden and the Nordic countries, the rest of Europe, the USA and Canada - above all as a soloist and in the piano duo together with Kristine Scholz. The repertoire includes many international composers who have worked off the beaten path and around 30 Swedish composers have composed directly for Mats Persson.
