This video featuring Anna Thorvaldsdottir, composer, expresses the same impulse. She says this about her inspiration: "sometimes it's the balances and the structural forces and the opposites in nature...."

I found a wonderful recording: the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra performing "Before We Fall," a new composition from Ann Thorvaldsdottir. Amazing. It's just the kind of music I love to listen to while writing.... centered on the cello (it was created for the cellist Johannes Moser), instrumental, and rich with texture and nuances. The Minnesota Orchestra will perform this piece in January 2027. I'm definitely going to be there.
The link below is a video of the performance of "Before We Fall" that premiered at Musikkitalo in Helsinki, Finland. You will glimpse the twisted shape of the organ pipes in this video -- they look like a tangle of branches from a large tree. The organ is not played, but the image of silvery tree limbs speaks of Nordic landscapes.
