SOUND CHOREOGRAPHIC STUDIES
For various performers

2022-
This series of pieces is part of my ongoing work with sound choreography, where visual material and/or movements are interpreted sonically. The performers have specific instructions on what and how to play, all connected to cues in the video material. With these sound choreographic studies, my goal is to create small and easy pieces that can introduce a variety of performers to this way of composing. These studies are in most cases made for open instrumentation. They can be performed either as audiovisual pieces where the video is visible to both the performers and audience or as sound pieces where the video is visible only to the performers.
Everyone is hereby invited to perform the pieces, with whatever instruments or sounds you feel like - please let me know when, where and who, if you are performing in public.
