The pieces by Ulla Straus – ULLA for short, or even shorter, U.e – also have a chamber-musical character. Ulla’s contemplative miniatures behave weightlessly. They are intimate, sensitive vignettes, delicate small treasures. Flute, guitar, piano, saxophone, voice and electronics come together in somnambulant pieces that always seem on the verge of dissolving. Peaceful like a daydream, fleeting like a thought, carried by a gentle melancholy.
