Alexander Tillegreen
’s Phantom Streams is part of a modular work. It makes full use of the ambisonic speaker set up in the CCA theatre, creating an auditory illusion that allows the listener to hear words inside of their own mind that are not necessarily acoustically present. Instead, the listeners hear words that are based on their own linguistic background, cultural embedding and psychological subconscious. By contrast, Rikahður H Fridriksson takes inspiration from a speech by the former mayor of his hometown, explaining that the town was a good place to live. Through the drawn out rendering of the statement, he expresses his fond memories of growing up there.

Performed by Faroese vocal group KATA, Kirstine Lindemann’s Breath is a powerful work for amplified voices and field recordings of interviews with lung cancer patients. Working with breath as a sound source and a means of communication, the piece connects us with our primal traits and our common grounds. It travels through us, through our relations and our daily life. It transmits information, allowing us to read and listen almost like a hidden language.
