Live performance / Bjørn Svin
Electronic music producer Bjørn Svin Christiansen has composed a sound collage for PP Møbler, which will be performed live in a special 2-hour version. By using sounds from the craftsmen’s work, Svin creates an auditory journey that is both powerful and precise. The natural materials, human care, and the strength of the machines come together in a spacious and balanced symphony.
