Brummer

2024
Sound installation.
Bodø Biennale, Bodø., Norway


Brummer takes its starting point from the story of the Bullroarer from Tuv, discovered in 1991 near Saltstraumen and considered Norway’s oldest musical instrument.


In a series of workshops with art and dance students from Bodin and Bodø Videregående, Stone Age rituals and instruments were explored and documented through sound. The finished sound work interlinks the past and present through notions of “the meeting place.”


   

Many thanks to the Dance Department at Bodø Videregående, and to the Art, Design & Architecture and Media & Communications Departments at Bodin Videregående for their dedicated contributions. Special thanks to Yohei Hamada for the workshop collaboration and to Håvard Christensen for providing recording equipment.
