Collaboration with Ake Parmerud has continued over several decades. \"Mirage,\" a small piano concerto for Cikada and electronics was commissioned by Cikada in 1995. \"Zeit aus Zeit\" (the \"Kontakte\" variations) for piano and percussion was premiered by Cikada Duo in Gothenburg in 2002. The ensemble piece \"Rituals\" is from 2006. Cikada Duo is pianist Kenneth Karlsson and percussionist Bjorn Rabben. Together in 1988 they performed Karlheinz Stockhausen's \"Kontakte,\" in what became the first step toward creating Cikada a year later. Cikada, since it's start, consists of flute, clarinet, piano, percussion, string quintet, and conductor Christian Eggen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
