Edited excerpt from 67 minute long sound piece, by Efterklang, installed at the bathrooms at Restaurant Noma.

Stream of Noma features hundreds of field recordings from the Noma kitchen(and a local chicken farm that supplies eggs)recorded September 2013. The many field recordings have been layered and forms a stream of audio that runs through the entire piece. 

Out of this streams comes 20 focal points. This naturally references the 20 servings at Restaurant Noma. 

The 20 focal points varies in form and approach. Some of them are clean field recordings, others take a straight musical approach and most of them uses manipulations of the sound recordings that have been processed and then used as rhytmic or melodic elements or as samples for synths, that then are played.

Lyrics by Ursula Andkjær Olsen:

CITIES OF GLASS

I have no doubt
just, damn, build those gardens
into the sky
sun is gathered by large screens
that unfold like flowers
that unfold like flowers
in and out like flowers
in and out like flowers
in and out

I have no doubt
our futures:
you are welcome in mine
I am welcome in yours
are a castle with many chambers
and the chambers open and close 
in on us as
flowers by night
by light

our futures
our futures
is a castle with many chambers
is a castle with many chambers

cities of glass
cities of glass
cities of glass
in the sky
cities of glass

Lyrics by Ursula Andkjær Olsen:

THE COLOUR NOT OF LOVE

the colour of
not of love
the colour, not of
the colour of falling in
not of love 
of falling in
in

the colour of fall
the colour of 
green
green
falling in
jasmine

green seen in the dark
in the night 
fall with me in
the colour of green in the night
the colour of fall, of falling in love
is a leaf 

not of love
not of love
not of love
not of love
love
love

the colour of falling
the colour of falling
is love
