Romberg, Martin


KUNSTNERISK STATEMENT
I en verden hvor globale utfordringer fordrer et felles språk, søker jeg fremfor alt å uttrykke det felles menneskelige i kunsten. Historien har gitt oss nøkkelen til det felles menneskelige i form av mytologi – spirituelle analogier i eventyrets form som kommuniserer bortenfor tid og nasjonale grenser. J.R.R. Tolkien viste oss veien i egen vår tid med å tillate mytene å bli skapt på ny, han kalte det ”mythopoeia”, og omsatte dette i sine omhyggelig oppbygde fantasiverdener. Jeg tror det kan ligge et stort potensial for en klassisk musikk skapt ut av de samme premissene.
