Lene Asp & Mikkel Meyer: History as composition

En poetisk lydcollage, optaget og produceret af komponist Anja T. Lahrmann i København og Nuuk i oktober 2021. Lydcollagen er en del af det hybride vokalværk 'Det yderste hav', som blev uropført i Frelsers Kirke ifm. dette års Nuuk Nordisk Kulturfestival. 
I værket indgår personlige fortællinger af designer Ivalu Skinnebach Hansen og sangerinde og trommedanser Pauline Lumholt, som tilsammen danner ramme om observationer på tværs af kulturer og generationer. 
Gennem sprogene som konkret kommunikationsform såvel som abstrakt fonetisk lyd udtrykker værket på naturromantisk, klimasøgende vis betydningen af menneskeligt ophav.

Hvad er det jeg har i mig?

Olya Zikrata: TO WHOM IT MAY SPEAK: Scenes of Ukrainian truth, and terror

This audio paper narrates through the experiences and ambiences of Russian aggression to which Ukrainians relate a long history of Russia’s imperial statehood. (Plokhy, 2023) It seeks a space of ethics in which sound expresses and gives testimonial to Ukrainian tragedy. In February 2023, Ukrainian art historian Kateryna Iakovlenko wrote an essay in which she claimed a justice-seeking quality to “cruel”, and “poor”, images, contesting a particular labeling of the images as “sensitive content”. (Iakovlenko, 2023) The audio paper resonates with Iakovlenko’s discussion, seeking a similar quality in “cruel”, and “poor”, sounds which were recorded hastily to make the war traceable in the experience of its victims. These sounds are not to be assessed for value-producing acoustics but fathomed in the actuality of ruination. 

I take ruination as a sonic state and worldly entanglement, mobilizing it as a force against which powers of resistance are measured. The audio paper invests in the exploration of Ukrainian resistance, locating in the world-ruining times a sonority of the Ukrainian desire to live and Russia’s genocidal intent to end Ukrainian living.

The audio-paper is part of Seismograf's Open Call What Sounds Do – New Directions in an Anthropology of Sound (2023)

The Conch & the Chrysanthemum 
- excerpt of movement #8 from You're somehow connected
A 90' piece written for solo accordion, ensemble, electronic composition, field recordings and voices in interviews about dreams for the future.

You're somehow connected reflects our time, culture, dreams about the future and reality based upon what came before us, 
where we are now and what will come in the future. It reflects on how we are all somehow connected.

You’re somehow connected is inspired by August Strindberg’s 'A Dream Play'; an impression of life on planet Earth described by Agnes, the daughter of the Vedic god Indra. The dream play describes aspects of being human through different voices, characters and perspectives in a chaos in which it is complex to navigate, a movement that expands itself in a constant changing environment of dream and reality, the real and the surreal.
