Performance recordings
All of these performances are improvised; the music was created spontaneously, at the piano, while watching the film with the audience. This applies also to the duo recording with violinist Irine Røsnes and the Frame Ensemble excerpt. The audio quality of the recordings varies - some are simple field recordings I’ve made with a Zoom H5, some are done with a bit more technical expertise!
