Ann Rosén (Sweden, 1956) Liquid Air (2022) 40’ (World Premiere)

Liquid Air – a Drawing Session. Graphite is the prerequisite, the sound, and the instrument. By using graphite, the music is drawn into existence and gently shaped in all dimensions. Liquid Air moves between time and space, as well as between different states.

Evolving from a children’s workshop on electronic music, Drawing Sessions is a project and a process by Ann Rosén that has resulted in various sound installations, ensemble works, duos, album releases, and a large number of concerts, both live-streamed and IRL.

Ann Rosén began her artistic career in the visual arts in the 1980s. Through the continuous creation of new modes of artistic expression and work, she has ever since focused on exploring interactions and communication between people. Her work includes social sculptures, choreographic works, sound art, choral works, sound installations, sculpted silence, performance, and art music for small and large ensembles, such as Rosén’s own orchestra, The Barrier Orchestra.

Subtle, warm, and creative, Ann Rosén’s music gently guides the listeners through complex sound worlds, leaving plenty of room to explore the music along one’s own path.
