Night Lives is composer Kristine Tjogersen's second album on Aurora Records, and the follow up to the critically acclaimed debut album Between Trees from 2024.

Kristine Tjogersen's Night Lives (2023) is an excursion into the shrouded world of nocturnal creatures. Produced in a multidisciplinary collaboration with the Norwegian contemporary music ensemble Cikada, biologist and writer Hanna Bjorgaas, scenographer and performer Ellen Jerstad, visual artist and lighting designer Evelina Dembacke, and artist and designer Marie Payan, Night Lives offers a fantastical imagining of how bats, moths, owls, micro-organisms, and other nighttime dwellers communicate, immersing audiences in wonders that are beyond our human eyes and ears.

Reviews after the premiere at Ultima Festival in 2023:

"It is difficult not to be carried away and fascinated by this all-consuming universe. Cikada plays with unparalleled virtuosity, sustained intensity and spectacular solos."(https://scenekunst.no)

"It unfolded as a bizarre, fantastical mix of ritual and play, Tjogersen's imaginary fauna playing alone, calling to each other...... the acoustic warmth of the ensemble being blanched by cool sharpness from synthesizers...... To write about Tjogersen's work is always to do it a disservice; it really needs to be experienced and considering the amount of effort it must take to put on performances of her work, one can only hope that her bold, ambitious pieces aren't one-off triumphs like this but will have the opportunity to travel and be experienced by as many people as possible."(https://5against4.com/)
