TONEHIMMEL is a festival in Sunnmøre, Norway, which centers around contemporary music and art, often performed outside in nature or in other unique locations. For the 2024 festival (June 25-30) I participated with four pieces, three of which where devised through structured improvisation in collaboration with other musicians.
PRESENT TENSE | Opening concert (15 min)
A collaboration with musicians Geir Hjorthol (trumpet), Andreas Barth (percussion) and Magnar Åm (glass harp, keyboard). Performed in a boat storage facility in Fosnavågen, Norway.
BOTNASANDEN (60 min)
Simply one of the most impressionable performances I have attended in a long time.
