Four part motet (2023)

Written for Oslo String Quartet with support from the Norwegian Arts Council

In this work, the musicians pick up prepared string instruments and begin to play a skewed Chaconne based on a work by the French Baroque composer Jean-Henri D'anglebert (1629-1691). Gradually, a sampled vocal quartet begins to sing through their instruments via attached transducers and the musicians gradually enter into a dialogue with their singing instruments.

Vocal samples by Ditte Marie Bræin and Eirik Krokfjord
