Traversing Sonic Territories is a new collaboration and artistic research project that intends to investigate how a radicalized sharing of personal sample libraries can contribute to an expansion of improvisational and imaginal horizons toward new sonic worlds.
In a mixture of analogue and contemporary sampling technology, cassette tape and digital code, individual instrumental approaches are provoked as the musicians transgress the habitual boundaries for action possibilities and musical imagination.
What happens in this sharing process? How does it change performance and even our understanding of sonic identity?And could this b/lend of sonic identities perhaps point to a more ambiguous yet dynamic and vibrant state of intra-action?
Questions like these become drivers in the sharing process which involves different approaches to audio sampling and archiving, embedding and embodying, listening and playing on each other’s sonic material to a poi...

Questions like these become drivers in the sharing process which involves different approaches to audio sampling and archiving, embedding and embodying, listening and playing on each other’s sonic material to a point where authorship, origin and instrumental conventionality is destabilized – b(l)ending also the practice into an electro-acoustic field, where digital code disrupts the acoustic logics and architecture of the instruments.
As a duo with Snekkestad and Kjærgaard, the project has just released an acoustic record named “Another Way of The Heart”
