MUSIC TO SEE
S. Steen-Andersen: Run Time Error (video), The History of my instrument (2001) for harp, pick-up and video, with Sunniva R. Wettre (harp)

In History of My Instrument, Simon Steen-Andersen quotes one of the world’s best-known harpist, Carlos Salzedo: ‘… perhaps Carlos Salzedo said it best in this excerpt from an article published in the January, 1952 issue of Etude Magazine: “Music is meant to be heard, but also to be looked at – otherwise radio would have long ago supplanted the concert stage which, fortunately, it has not” …’

Deconstructing IKEA: with and by Amund Sjølie-Sveen, percussion & video
This piece investigates the richness of sounds in an ordinary consumer object – IKEA plates – or more precisely; the hidden richness in the ordinary object. As the object is gradually destroyed, the sound material becomes richer. The destruction of the physical object is the construction of the sound object. www.amundsveen.no

DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES with Duo Torquati-Dillon (IT)
A journey on the thread of memory, a search, a pursuit of a multitude of fugitive voices: voices that tell a story, voices that sing, absent voices, voices only evoked; A game of mirrors and echoes that seeks to transcend the barriers of style and type in order to create a new red thread between sounds which are only apparently distant one from another. In the program, pieces by Lachenmann, Rachmaninov, Hosokawa, Schumann, Liszt, Ablinger, W. Zimmermann, Fauré. www.emanueletorquati.com
