THE ETERNAL CHORD
LINCOLN CATHEDRAL / 19TH OCTOBER/ 7:30 â 9:30PM
A World Premiere for Frequency 2013, Chris Watson and Hildur Guðnadóttir will be collaborating on a brand new collaborative multi-channel sound work. Anna von Hausswolff, a Swedish singer, pianist and songwriter, will be performing a new score for the organ. The Eternal Chord, an improvisational work from some of the artists present, will close the evening.
Since its first release in 1982, Touch has created sonic and visual productions that combine innovation with a level of care and attention that has made it the most enduring of any independent company of its time.
Watson is one of the worldâs leading recorders of wildlife and natural phenomena, and for Touch he edits his field recordings into a filmic narrative. For example, the unearthly groaning of ice in an Icelandic glacier is a classic example of, in Watsonâs words, putting a microphone where you canât put your ears. Since then he has developed a particular and passionate interest in recording the wildlife sounds of animals, habitats and atmospheres from around the world. As a freelance recordist for film, TV & radio, Chris Watson specializes in natural history and documentary location sound together with track assembly and sound design in postproduction.
Hildur GuĂ°nadĂłttir is an Icelandic cello player and singer who has been manifesting herself at the forefront of experimental pop and contemporary music. In her solo work she draws out a broad spectrum of sounds from her instrument, ranging from intimate simplicity to huge soundscapes. GuĂ°nadĂłttir likes to explore the nature and movement of sound, and often turns her experiments into sound and visual installations. She recently co-composed a live soundtrack to Derek Jarmanâs 1980 film In The Shadow of The Sun with legends Throbbing Gristle.
Anna von Hausswolff is a Swedish singer, pianist and songwriter. Her debut single, âTrack of Timeâ, was released in 2010 and was quickly followed by her debut album Singing from the Grave. She is noted for her expressive voice and her live performances. She played in several fsstivals suck as the Way Out West Festival, Peace and Love, Storsjöyran, Arvika, and Made Festival. She also opened for artists such as Tindersticks, Lykke Li and M. Ward.
