In the 40 years since the young Swedish composer's first proper release, the two-part, fifty-minute composition has become a cult minimalist classic. Its textures and humanity remain deeply absorbing.

Ragnar Grippe Music

I first encountered Ragnar Grippe in California

at the Center for Music Experiment, San Diego

in 1977 where he played Musique Douze.

This made a strong impression.

I have followed his career through the years.

I am pleased to see these wonderful personal documentaries available.

In the 40 years since the young Swedish composer’s first proper release, the two-part, fifty-minute composition has become a cult minimalist classic. Its textures and humanity remain deeply absorbing.

Den 30-åriga poeten Arazo Arif och den 70-åriga tonsättaren Ragnar Grippe skapar tillsammans ett vykort som doftar Paris, skriver Johanna Paulsson.
