Fog Factory (excerpt)

Altérité

Abuse (feat. Alice Imbert & Luke Sutherland)

Wet and muted
I breathe the air
heavy like rain
we sit quietly
feeling the timbre
of echoes
and the fragrance
of atmospheres
before they were clouds
I look into the stream

For piano and tape:

Lerkenfeldt explores minimalist structures with stillness and intensity. Her imaginative process is poetic and precise; distilling new registers in the field of consciousness through electroacoustic composition, like a torchlight in the dark.

Alongside classical instrumentation, she augments abandoned technologies into new hybrid forms through handcraft, digitisation and experimental digital processing. Flickering piano, tape systems and their spatialised distortions unfold in repetitive motifs on With Water Up To Her Knees. In Before They Were Clouds, multi-layered acoustic refractions speculate on atmospheric systems.

With Water Up To Her Knees is produced by Shelter Press in small series cassette single edition and digital with a limited pullout poster and poem by the artist. The work has its world premiere at eminent electronic arts centre The Substation, Melbourne on 24-25 November 2022, with a hybrid performance in collaboration with filmmaker Tristan Jalleh.

Written and recorded on unceded Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung country, Summer 2022.

“I love the sound of mechanical failure, when the sophisticated machine collapses into itself.”

With Water Up To Her Knees

Before They Were Clouds

north atlantic oscillation

En vertu du temps passé
Nous sommes là
Accrochés aux cimes
Ne regardant pas l'abîme
Donnant prise au vent
Tentant un énième envol
Les rapaces jamais loin
L'aigle royal scrutant notre chute
Vautour puissant gardant nos corps encore vivants
Oiseaux célestes nous deviendrons
Et ensemble mon amour
nous parcourrons les terres inconnues
que nous rêvions d'explorer

"Hábitat imaginario" for voice, bird whistles and field recordings / stereo version
Live intervention for the garden of La Fonoteca Nacional (jardín sonoro) in Mexico City. I composed a 8-channel piece using field recordings of the archive. My chameleon - like voice is interacting with and tuning into this soundscape through mimesis and transformation, creating a strange place between human and nonhuman identities.
Commissioned by Poetica Sonora and Fonoteca Nacional, Mexico City

"Hábitat imaginario" (hier als Stereo Version) ist eine Live Intervention für den Jardín Sonoro der Fonoteca Nacional in Mexico City. Im Garten der Fonoteca  ist permanent ein  8- Kanal-Lautsprecher System installiert. Das Material für das Zuspiel habe ich dem Archiv der Fonoteca entnommen. Ich komponierte vor Ort ein „imaginäres Habitat“ aus gesampelten Geräuschen der Provinzen Mexikos. Loops, und Samples von Klängen von Vögeln, quasielektronisch klingenden Insekten, den verschiedenen Pfiffen der Händler Mexico Cities und vokale Äußerungen wurden Teil dieses Soundscapes. Auch die Live-Atmosphäre des Gartens integrierte sich in das Klangbild.
In meiner Performance interagiere ich als Sängerin mit diesem „imaginären Habitat“ durch Mimesis und Transformation. Die vokalen Klänge scheint losgelöst vom üblichen Klang der menschlichen Stimme zu sein und lösen sich auf in eine Klangwelt von Vögeln, Insekten und elektronisch anmutenden Sounds.

Hábitat Imaginario for voice, bird whistles and field recordings, Stereo Version

((.....)) is a piece composed from fieldrecordings that I have made during a long period of my life, but especially around the time when I lived in Berlin, when my childhood home in Denmark was sold, and when I moved to France. Sentimental and cinematic.

((.....)) - 2018

The opening track from my new album Always There, Somewhere out now on Esc.Rec. 

The album charts a journey of personal discovery through friendship. It’s a record about finding answers in each other, rather than from only within ourselves.
