Cornelia Karlsson: Spiderwebs (2022)
for 3 performers and electronics

Spiderwebs is an audiovisual work for three performers who build webs out of wire. Each performer uses a dynamic microphone to transmit the sounds of steel through stereo speakers. The idea came during the pandemic, when I found comfort in videos of people constructing everything from houses to speakers. There’s something soothing about silence interrupted by purposeful sound, and watching something emerge from nothing.

Emil Johansson: Love is all you need (2025)
for 2 performers and electronics

Love is all you need is inspired by how all men of power throughout history from the local mayors, to the continent wide dictators have used the word love to further manipulate people for means of power. The music travels in a landscape consisting of 70s garage punk and 50s Doo wop.

Anton Lindström: STICKFIGHTING (2025)
for 4 fighters and announcer (premiere)

Stickfighting takes the form of a 'fighting with sticks' 1-on-1, single elimination tournament, with a losers bracket.

Rob Durnin is a composer, sound artist and performer from the UK. Living and working in Denmark, Rob's output spans from chamber music, to multidisciplinary works, installations, performance art and ambisonic compositions. In his practice, he often fixates on the characteristics and architectures of technologies, as well as the manner of our interactions with them. He also investigates the role of its intervention in the creative process and often works within the programming language LISP.

Cornelia Karlsson is a Swedish composer based in Copenhagen. Her work spans a wide range of musical expressions, with a recent focus on performative elements, dramatic composition, multimedia, and personal narrative. Through these explorations, she seeks to discover new modes of musical expression and storytelling.

Emil Johannsson is a musician/composer from Hamrånge, Sweden. He is educated from The Royal Danish academy of music.

Anton Lindström is a musician, composer & instrument maker from Gothenburg, Sweden - currently living in Copenhagen, Denmark. His music deals with the absurd and the nostalgic, often incorporating vernacular elements, references to his own childhood and analog electronics.
