As the pace of our world continually accelerates, in recent years, we have witnessed an explosively growing phenomenon on the Internet: ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) - Whispering low-pitched voice guidance is mediated through YouTube videos serving as a psychological aid for thousands of people seeking relaxation or sleep.
The vocal piece BØN is based on this phenomenon. By evoking and magnifying the micro-sounds of the voice in an immersive soundscape, a sonic sphere of vocal presence is created, which the listeners can let them selves be enveloped in. The sounds are merged with choir pieces performed by four classical singers and slowly progressing visuals.
This way the work wants to offer the audience a calm alternative to the speed that dominates our culture.
