In version IV of the artwork “Curse Lament” I have made a new sound art composition which include recordings of singing with the loons at Prestvannet in Tromsø City center, where there has been a huge gathering of loon birds this year. The loon bird is one of the few birds that should not be imitated in local mythology, as it is said to curse the human that does it. Their sounds and my imitation of them have been composed together inspired by the musical structure of cyclic sound compositions of videogame music and joik.

To dare to be a corvidae” is an ongoing art project that deals with ecology and specifically communication between the species. Version IV was presented at nomadic solar energized sound art gallery, Galleri Ruth (http://www.galleriruth.com/) 22.06.2022.

Yes. It was something that had a different smell, because it was a bit strong the smell from that medicine. So the doctor would absolutely feel that it had been eh… some medicine that he hadn’t given him.
 
And then his wife didn’t want… eh… the doctor to feel/recognize, on the smell simply, that he had been to medicine-Jakob.
