Tord Kalvenes er utdannet med en mastergrad i musikkvitenskap fra Universitetet i Oslo og har videreutdanning i komposisjon og ensembleledelse fra Norges musikkhøgskole. Som komponist har Tord samarbeidet med en rekke ensembler med hovedvekt innen vokalmusikk og kammermusikk, ofte også som sangutøver. I 2020 ble han nominert til Årets verk under Musikkforleggerprisen med verket Missa De Lumine og han var deltaker i Borealis Ung Komponist i 2020-2021. I 2017 startet Tord vokalensemblet Tabula Rasa, et bergensbasert sangensemble som jobber med konseptuelle produksjoner, improvisasjon og nye tilnærminger til performative uttrykksmåter.
“All music emerges from silence, to which sooner or later it must return. At its simplest we may conceive of music as the relationship between sounds and the silence that surrounds them.
Yet silence is an imaginary state in which all sounds are absent, akin perhaps to the infinity of time and space that surrounds us.
We cannot hear utter silence, nor can we fully imagine such concepts as infinity and eternity. When we create music, we express life.
But the source of music is silence, which is the ground of our musical being, the fundamental note of life.
How we live depends on our relationship with death; how we make music depends on our relationship with silence.”
