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.  

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


   

Thank you to the Dance Department at Bodø Videregående, as well as the Art, Design, and Architecture Department and the Media and Communications Department at Bodin Videregående, for your dedicated contributions. A special thanks to Yohei Hamada for the workshop collaboration and Håvard Christensen for the recording equipment.
