Lærkeanimationer
2023
Lark Animations (2023) for solo violin is an exploration of the songbird's existence through a commemorative study, drawing inspiration from its movement patterns and heralding calls of spring. The player is surrounded by twelve sheets of music, forming an organic open-world system that animates the gestures of the body, the movements of the bow, and the resonance of the violin, echoing a singing lark soaring through the skies.

Through its non-linear arrangement and open structure, the piece encourages the performer to immerse themselves in the material, leaving the actual duration at the discretion of the violinist and adaptable to the specific circumstances of each performance.

Lark Animations is available as LP, download and streaming through Dacapo Records, June 2024. The two recorded takes on the release represent arbitrary motions through the score, serving as the A and B sides of the LP.
