The Kitchen Sessions: 4AM (2016)

‘Pierre Menard did not want to compose another Quixote, which surely is easy enough – he wanted to compose the Quixote.’
(Borges, “Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote”)
The initial question – What is my kitchen’s being and is it possible for me to detect and understand it and also even somehow capture it? Thinking about this and using time, space & memory as gateways into some sort of understanding about the kitchen’s being, but also as tools to interpret and transform the mindexperiment into a musical composition. Originally mixed in B-format and played in 17.4 speakers + 1 mono speaker at Audiorama (Stockholm). For the curious swedish reader: the-kitchen-sessions-4am-sol-andersson

Fitta – 350 år senare (2012)

An 8 channel electroacoustic installation piece. The piece reconnoiters the use of the word Fitta (pussy) and tries to understand the swedes ambivalent relation of how, when, and why we use it. The subtitle – 350 years later refers to when the word first occurred in swedish writings and makes you wonder if anything at all has changed since. It is clearly a word with many meanings and something that makes most of us feel ashamed of in one way or another from time to time.

1000 meter frustration (2011)

An electroacoustic piece. Originally mixed in B-format and played in 17.4 speakers at Audiorama (Stockholm) during the Sound of Stockholm festival 2011.
