Tropics is silent and, at times, remote music.
You experience a layer, where recorder, violin, and cello have their own mutual world, and another layer, where the harpsichord starts to live its own life.
At a certain time, the two worlds meet in a kind of zenit – the tension in the music is extinguished – and music folds back again.
The title of the piece is due to the fact that the music is a development of the piece The Tropic of Cancer (Krebsens vendekreds).
En lang dissonerende svævende indledning, hvor instrumenterne ligger tæt sammen og smyger sig op ad hinanden. Dette udvikler sig til tættere og tættere samspil, til de når til et højdepunkt, hvorefter de fjerner sig fra hinanden igen. Et godt stykke at slutte denne meget fine CD med. (High Fidelity)
