The five composers behind these world premiere recordings, written for the young classical guitarist Jakob Bangso, all share a keen interest in the field of electroacoustic music. Through live electronics, sound-transforming algorithms and interactive systems, CONNECT explores captivating soundscapes in the borderlands between the acoustic and the digital, the raw and the processed, the heard and the reheard - guitar and electronics are equal partners. The prizewinning guitarist Jakob Bangso (b. 1988) has quickly established himself as one of Denmark's most active and versatile instrumentalists. He graduated from the soloist class of the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus with Frederik Munk Larsen as his teacher and from the Hochschule fur Musik und Tanz in Cologne, Germany under Roberto Aussel. As a soloist he has made a particular impact at international guitar competitions, and has been awarded several grants and scholarships. In 2015 he was the first guitarist ever to receive the two-year career grant The Young Elite from the Danish Arts Foundation.
