Madagascar 2019

The work is about the lost land of lemuria. Time traveling and how we can learn from past mistakes. I wanted to see if I could sing with the Indri lemurs, and ask them about their lost land.

Like ghosts the Indri lemurs where Floating through the canopy of the trees,

their bodies growing to twice their size, and this strange song or call resonating through the jungle.

singing to the Star nation

Sound Installation and Performance Møn Bienalen 2020

In the work Ground station, I sing inside a homemade parabolar I dug out of the ground. I wantet

To reach the star nation, aliens, gods and all the other beings of the universe,

Depending on the size of a parabol, the further the Parabolar can transmit,

I dug my Parabolar in the ground and covered it with clay and performed in it.

In order to get more sound out of it,

I strapped a loudspeaker around my waist, and made it point down towards the centre of the dish so it could broadcast as far as possible.

In addition I had a balloon hanging in the focal point, with a wireless microphone attached to it. The mic picked up the sound from above the Parabolar dish, and sent it down to heardphones on the ground.

you could stand next to me and watch me perform, while you could hear what the sky would hear.

I sing you an ocean
and swim to the land

we can make love there

in the white sand

I'll draw you a mountain
And climb to the top

I scream to the world
Who I love

I'll write you a poem
A whole novel

When we have nothing
We still have stories to tell

All comes from Nothing

Nothing at all

All comes from Nothing

Nothing at all

INSTINKT

INSTINKT

Video 9 min. 2017

In the work Instinkt I sing with humpback whales in northern Norway.

Instinkt is part of a longer research where I explore and try to document a kind of common language between humans, and other beings.The sound of the video is played and reflected, on 2 large Parabolar dishes.

When whales need to communicate over long distances, they make use of the same technique as the parabolar. They "shoot" their song into the sea floor, which is then reflected up under the surface of the sea, this reflection can continue over 1000 of sea miles, they can then make their song reach much further.

The work was shown at Gallerie Pirpa 2017 and at Vejle Kunstmuseum / Holstebro Kunstmuseum 2020-2021

In addition, an LP of the audio material with underwater recordings has been released

op under stjernerne

bor de vildeste dyr

de taler med sanserne

de kommer så nær

hvis du ber dem om vej

forfører de dig

og tar dig på tur

i et himelisk bur

de viser dig verdner

af udvidet stjerner

multidimensioner

og flydende ord

de fletter din tanke

så du mister din vej

og sætter dig af

på kanten af jorden

hvor himlen gror

og himlen gror

tekst. Gry Bagøien

Instinkt. Optagelser under vandet. Double LP.

by. Gry Bagøien

The lp Instinkt, consist of recordings of me trying to communicate with whales underwater, in northern Norway.

The recordings are from boats, bridges and land. You can hear the humpback whales reacting to my voice, as well as the sound of the mechanical drone noise, of the fishing boats, that blend with the ultra high sinus song of the Orcas.

The Album Instinkt is a limited edition of 25 signed pieces.

Sange for planter Songs for Plants

performance 2015

Sange for Planter (Songs for Plants) is part of an study into the plant Desmodium Gyrans and its reaction to the human voice.

I created songs in collaboration with the plant from notes to lyrics to which the plant has shown a particularly sensitive reaction (Desmodium Gyrans is a tropical Asian shrub, also known as telegraph plant or semaphore plant. It is related to the mimosa and the venus flytrap and is especially sensitive to sound and telepathy. When exposed to this.

Desmodium Gyrans moves its leaflets in a speeds high enough to be seen by the naked eye.)

Sange for Planter was recorded and performed at kunstkapellet KIKshh. 2015.
