Kalf! is a musicshow with dance and theatre.
It’s about a little cow.
She lives with a lot of cows in a big stable and she dreams about India, where cows are sacred. There they grow old and all the calves are made of gold!
About the music
The story is about a calf who wants to go to India, only she doesn’t know this is a metaphor for a slaughterhouse. In global, the keys for the tracks keep on descending in scale so the timbre of the music gets darker as the story unravels. I start out in the key of G and end up in the key of Bb minor.
Since it’s a children’s theaterplay, it needed to have a big amount of fluffiness and naivety.
