On Thurs 28 Sept 2017, violinist Pekka Kuusisto joins Finnish folk singer, Ilona Korhonen, to present a unique, modern perspective on runo-song, an ancient storytelling tradition from Finland. The Philharmonia Orchestra’s Digital team travelled to Finland to get a preview of what to expect. Ilona sings a story about the origins of the kantele, a traditional Finnish stringed instrument often used to accompany runo-song. Lyrics: I was a slave in Estonia. I received only barley as my wage And took the barley to Sweden to sow. I did not stay to see how it grew, But after five or six weeks I returned. There was a deer in my field, which I took home and fed and cared for. I took its horns and took them to the blacksmith and asked him to make a kantele. He did. But the kantele was not finished. It was lacking one string.

In August 'Young Nordic Music Days', a festival for contemporary music and sound art, celebrated its 70th anniversary in Aarhus, Denmark. The Lake Radio was there and had a talk with chairman Allan Gravgård Madsen and the three composers Kajsa Magnarsson (SE), Saara Viika (FI) og Bergrún Snæbjörnsdottír (IS) about rape alarms, portraying people in sound and how it would feel to be a composer with a penis.

I dette afsnit af LYDKUNST tager vi dig med i udstillingen NMD Sound Art Exhibition og til det performancearrangement, som blev afholdt i forbindelse hermed. Udstillingen kunne opleves under festivalen Nordic Music Days. På lofterne under den store tagkonstruktion i Christian d. 4.’s Bryghus og blandt kongelige skulpturer mærket af tidens tand, i Kogernes Lapidarium, som har til huse i den historiske bygning. NMD Sound Art Exhibtion præsenterede 9 forskellige lydkunstnere og grupper fra de nordiske lande, som alle arbejder ganske forskelligt med lyd som en del af deres kunstneriske udtryk. Du vil møde to af de ni kunstnere, som sætter ord på hvordan de arbejder med lyden i deres værker. Du vil også møde kuratorerne bag, som fortæller om, hvordan de med udstillingen var interesserede i at afsøge, hvordan man kan arbejde kunstnerisk med lyd. Og så vil du høre eksempler på lyd fra udstillingen, og forhåbentlig få et indtryk af hvor alsidigt et udtryk lydkunst kan have. God fornøjelse!
