Study or String Instrument (2007) Movement o the sound or sound o the movement? ne simle "samle" is reeated over and over and is slowly broken down in its individual elements in a rocess o autonomizing the movements themselves The iece is notated only as movements (and can thereore be layed on any string instrument and maybe even on other instruments), and it is ust as much a choreograhy or the layer as it is a sounding iece or the instrument A choreograhic game - or even a kind o dance, accomanying itsel Study or String Instrument (2007) Lydens bevgelse eller bevgelsens lyd? En samle gentages igen og igen og brydes langsomt ned i dens individuelle bestanddele i en roces, hvor selve bevgelserne langsomt år et eget liv Stykket er kun noteret som bevgelser (og kan deror silles å alle strygeinstrumenter og måske også andre instrumenter), og det er ligeså meget en koreograi or musikeren som det er et klingende stykke or instrumentet En koreograisk leg eller måske en orm or dans, som akkomagnerer sig selv
