Classical music evolved in a time when people weren't acquainted with noise. The loudest sounds were thunder and church bell. Music was rare, and the sounds of musical instruments have been refreshing and exciting in a way we can't even immagine.
Today we are constantly surrounded with sound: music in bars, supermarkets, and on our media players, traffic sounds in the street, constant flow of sounds from publicity, movies, radio, Internet sites...
It follows that music and art for our time should rather open new empty spaces and create new silences.
This work is a one hour long video where each minute contains one randomly chosen color and one random variant of the same chord. The work insists on a huge presence of single chords and monochrome screens as a new kind of meditation space and new way of experiencing silence in a world saturated with information. Shown at A:M:O:K, Aarhus, October 9th 2015, and in Kasernebiografen, Aarhus, May 10th 2016.
