Stockholm Noir are back with a brand new single, “O Fortuna (Carmina Burana)”.

“Carmina Burana” is a cantata composed in 1935 and 1936 by Carl Orff, based on 24 poems from the medieval collection “Carmina Burana”. Its full Latin title is “Carmina Burana: Cantiones profanae cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis” (or in English, “Songs of Beuern: Secular songs for singers and choruses to be sung together with instruments and magical images”).

It was first performed by the Oper Frankfurt on 8 June 1937. It is part of “Trionfi”, a musical triptych that also includes “Catulli Carmina” and “Trionfo di Afrodite”. The first and last sections of the piece are called “Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi” (“Fortune, Empress of the World”) and start with “O Fortuna”.

Swedish electronic music duo Stockholm Noir, often shortened to Noir, has released a new single titled “Loop” on April 7th. “Loop” is the first single from their upcoming album, set to be released this Autumn.

Stockholm Noir describes “Loop” as follows: “It delves into the recurring chaos in the world that persists throughout centuries, like a tumultuous loop where people continue to suffer, and humanity fails to learn from these experiences. The song alludes to the fleeting comfort we seek, akin to a child looking to their mother, which only exists for a brief moment.”

Established in 2017, Stockholm Noir explores and creates the darker side of electronic music. The anonymous duo’s cinematic sound has been featured in Netflix’s “Quicksand” and major Swedish TV series such as “Gåsmamman” and “Jordskott.”
