The press photo of Søren Gemmer & Jessie Kleemann for the album Lone Wolf Runner.

// A collaborative effort exploring postcolonial critique through ice cave piano, fiery drum machine excursions, poetry infused with hymnic vocoding and a hauntingly beautiful baptismal flood of synths.


// LONE WOLF RUNNER is the result of Søren Gemmer’s electro-acoustic composition for Jessie Kleemann’s performance piece presented during the Fall of 2023 at the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen. The performance series garnered significant attention and was nominated as Art Event of the Year by AICA Association of Danish Art Critics. The album is out on October 2nd of 2024 on vinyl and across digital platforms.

TRACK by TRACK

1. Running Time

Roars heard from the bellows as the lone wolf enters at high pace. The Greenlandic language set against hymnic vocoding in this compelling album opener.

 

2. Lone Wolf Runner

The wolf unleashed. Ice cave piano timbres set on top of a steady bell-like pulse accelerating gently and bold percussive gestures glitched out. 

3. Tide

Dark, submarine piano movements submersed in cold waters as a choir of huskies make themselves heard across the ice. The dark intervals thrusting themselves upon land, becoming melody.

  

4. Nu (“Now”)

A poetic choral piece with shimmering chords and subtle sonic beams. A female main character facing unknown challenges in the midst of unruly nature. Jessie Kleemann’s poetic writing at it’s finest in this abstract arctic pastoral.

 

5. The Bird


Birdsong-like piano pulsations, crystalline, yet warm and melodic. An analog synth soars above as the tempo rises, seemingly towards infinity or towards The Skin….

6. The Skin

Unhinged bone rattling experimental electronic drum machine antics. The Skin is Lone Wolf Runner at it’s most playfully dancelike and a centerpiece of the album.

7. Seals Singing Their Jaws Off / 8. The Minotaur

A poet speaking truth to power followed by an enigmatic piece of melodic piano reflection. One can hear whistling, if one listens closely.

9. Baptism


This piece is Lone Wolf Runner’s transdimensional meeting at it’s core; a the unification of the howling wolf and the baptismal flood of synths, distorted and thrown upon the ceiling of an ice cathedral, nature and culture merged through sonic alchemy. 

10. The Dancer

 

Dancing on strings through strife.

 

 

11. Inngili

Inngili (“The Angel”) is a choral piece cocooning from time stretched strings of sound and based on Jessie Kleemann’s playful poem of the same name from the collection Arhkticos Doloros.

 

12. Radiant

 

A swelling deep complex beat forcefully powering a string of slow radiant chordal waves, rich in singing overtones. 

 

13. Marble

 

Ever heard a seal swallowing up a Chopin-esque melodic piano cadenza? Here’s your chance.

 

14. Feet

 

The sound of Lone Wolf Runner as it came to it’s conclusion as a performance series on The Sculpture Street at Statens Museum for Kunst.
