Laus Trinitati, que sonus et vita ac creatrix omnium in vita ipsorum est, et que laus angelice turbe et mirus splendor archanorum, que hominibus ignota sunt, est, et que in omnibus vita est. English translation: Praise to the Trinity—the sound and life and creativity of all within their life, the praise of the angelic host and wondrous, brilliant splendor hid, unknown to human minds, it is, and life within all things. http://www.hildegard-society.org/2014/11/laus-trinitati-antiphon.html

about

Live in concert in Emanuel Vigeland's Mausoleum, Oslo, Norway, July 20th 2022.
The concert was a collaboration in music with Sara Grabow and Claus Ingemann where the overwhelming and beautiful acoustics of the museum played a crucial role.

I performed three pieces:

- Acētābulum
Accompagnied by gentle strokes on a hammered steel salad bowl from IKEA. The title refers to (vinegar) bowls (oxyvaphi) which were used as singing bowls in byzantine times.

- Laus Trinitati (Hildegard von Bingen) with overtone improvisation.
An antiphon in phrygian mode with latin text praising "the Trinity—the sound and life". The instrument is a swarsangam, a moderne hybrid combining tanpura and swarmandal.

- Gongylon
This piece is performed with my home made "stafello" instrument, basically a two stringed cello mounted on an easel having a frame drum as resonator and a long helical spring to tramsmit the vibrations from strings to drumskin.

A missing cable meant that I was unable to record the music with higher quality external microphones, so what you hear is rendered by the built in capsules of a Zoom Q2n.
Apart from trimming starts and ends, normalizing levels, etc. the audio files are unedited. Recorded before a live audience.
