Eichberg, Søren Nils
Entry updated 27 June 2025. Tagged: Music, People.
(1973- ) German composer of Danish heritage. Two of his operas make use of sf themes. Glare (2014), with libretto by Hannan Dübgen, may or may not be sf, as it is never made clear whether one of the characters is in fact an Artificial Intelligence (see AI). More explicitly sf, Oryx and Crake (2023), also with libretto by Dübgen, is based on Oryx and Crake (2003) by Margaret Atwood, and set in a Post-Holocaust future, with much use of video projection and stage effects. The music mixes the well-established traditions of the classical avant-garde with a healthy dose of Hollywood film score melodrama. [CWa]
