Sometimes songs can enter a state of landscape.
Together with looking, listening, and the surrounding environment, they become capable of producing landscape. Not as a backdrop or a representation of nature, but as a relationship that emerges between bodies, sounds, places, and attention.
Songs in a State of Landscape is a performative concert that brings together materials developed throughout the research project The Excitation of Landscape. Drawing from works shaped by rivers, wind, mountains, and other territories, the piece combines songs, spoken text, and simple performative actions to activate different modes of perception.
Each presentation adapts to the site in which it takes place. Swimming pools, plains, sports halls, outdoor spaces, theatres, and other locations become part of the work itself. Rather than functioning as a neutral venue, each place participates in the construction of the landscape that unfolds during the performance.
The concert moves between song, action, and contemplation. Singing becomes a way of entering a place, of tuning the body to its rhythms and atmospheres, and of allowing relationships between sound, space, memory, and attention to emerge.
More than a musical performance, Songs in a State of Landscape proposes an experience of shared listening in which landscape is not something we observe from a distance, but something that happens between us.
