You're somehow connected is an 80' piece written for solo accordion, ensemble, electronic composition, field recordings and voices in interviews about dreams for the future.

You're somehow connected reflects our time, culture, dreams about the future and reality based upon what came before us,
where we are now and what will come in the future. It reflects on how we are all somehow connected.

You’re somehow connected is inspired by August Strindberg’s 'A Dream Play'; an impression of life on planet Earth described by Agnes, the daughter of the Vedic god Indra. The dream play describes aspects of being human through different voices, characters and perspectives in a chaos in which it is complex to navigate, a movement that expands itself in a constant changing environment of dream and reality, the real and the surreal.
