Experimental and Innovative Jazz Duo

Cort Lunde is a duo consisting of Erik Lunde Michaelsen and Thomas Cortes Thorup, who experiment with innovative music with a message. Their expression is versatile and complex – the culmination of many years of collaboration as a duo and in different constellations.

Flora Electronica is Cort Lunde's debut album. All compositions are dedicated to a specific Danish plant or flower and should be seen as musical paintings of a particular plant. It is a tribute to Danish nature and its plant life

This approach has been a very conceptual process. Compositions are created in the studio and based on the duo's Flora Electronica Tour, which was held in the summer of 2021. This is complemented by foley sounds from nature, bass, trumpet, and synthesizers.

All sounds are subjected to various forms of processing to create reflection and thoughts on our cultural and technological relationship with nature.

"Flora Electronica is a highly recommended record if you are interested in jazz and electronica." Jazznyt.
