Frode Haltli Accordion
Rebecca Saunders’ Soliloquy and work by Rolf Wallin are presented alongside an commission from Berlin-based British composer Naomi Pinnock. In Oscillare, cycles of two superimposed texts written in collaboration with the poet WN Herbert give fragmented glimpses of two atrocities: one from Ovid’s myths, one an account by a survivor of the Srebrenica massacre. The oscillation develops between the recorded voice and the vocal ensemble, the two drawn together by the accordion.
