  “See, darkness covers the earth” is built on a previous piece for bass clarinet (or cello) and computer called "One of the seven angels". The title is a quote from book of revelations, and "See darkness..." is in its turn a series of other quotes that the first title refer to in various ways. It turns out that the references to me felt very contemporary and had to do with the current trends in society and that meant that I could both recompose something old, use new old texts that referred to an old piece of mine and construct a very contemporary and important piece that may both say something about our time and give hope for a better future.
  
  The original piece was composed to Mattias Eklund
  First performed by Mattias Eklund at Malmö Academy of Music 2010
  
  This recomposed version was made for Johan Magnus Sjöberg and Mattias Rodrick in 2017. Duration: approx. 10 min

  See, darkness covers the earthand thick darkness is over the peoples, Ezia 60:2
  Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,by the thick darkness that covers my face. Job 23:17
  ...the people living in darkness have seen a great light;on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” Mattew 4:16
