In 2001 I had the pleasure of visiting Argentina whilst touring with a Faeroese band called Shalder Geo. We played in Patagonia, Bariloche, San Martin and surrounding areas. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I have a visual idea of South America and I’ve also chosen a visual idea for my North-South composition. It is a journey from the Faeroe Islands to South America the shortest way possible: straight through the earth. In the piece we stay for a while in a fake Faeroe sound-scape until we plummet into the ground, only bringing what we can carry: a vague idea of Faeroese song. As we approach the center of the earth the heat makes everything melt. From this melting pot we sense some new sounds and travel towards them… to South America! After we’ve been in South America for a short period of time we realize that we brought a Faeroese guest with us — a sheep. |
