Ultima Context - the podcast that takes you deeper into the world of contemporary and experimental music.

How can writers and editors make contemporary music accessible and exciting? As a critic of modern music, who are you writing for - those in the low, or fresh pairs of ears? Where is the line between complexity and simplification? We hear from Eystein Sandvik, Synne Skouen, Jørgen Karlstrøm and Anne Hilde Neset. Hosted by Guro Kleveland from Ballade magazine. Recorded live during Ultima Festival 2020. The conversation is in Norwegian.
