V
Inspired by Selma Lagerlöf's book The Wonderful Adventures of Nils, Kristine Tjøgersen’s work V recalls the flying formation of migrating birds and the relationship between man and nature. Rhythmic patterns transcribed from the wings of the geese is the material and is distributed between cellist and speakers. The speakers are placed in a V formation around the audience, so with the solo cellist as the leader.
