about

- from 'strengur' liner notes -

I have enjoyed numerous conversations through the years with Swedish born Kent Olofsson on music’s many spatial practices. In 2020, when I considered commissioning a violin solo to be performed within my installation 'Þytur' it felt like a good opportunity to turn our conversations into a hands-on collaboration.

'Þytur' was originally created with and for the sand dunes of Formby in the U.K. as part of my site-respondent installation 'Spherical White with Diamond' commissioned by Curated Place for the NATUR project in collaboration with National Trust Formby. Kent’s response to the work was a violin score, which consists of 9 parts that combine graphic, textual and written notation. His approach invites the performer to navigate through space and react from varying listening positions within the sound installation. 'Violin with Þytur' was premiered in Sweden as part of Inter Arts Center’s programming for Malmö Museum Night in 2020.
