H.S.H. Prince Frei granted an audience to the composer and sound artist Rosali Grankull at Kronhuset in Gothenburg. The conversation revolved around art, the unique potential of cultural workers to act as ambassadors for peace, and a desire to combat child poverty and social exclusion through outreach projects that enable children to engage in music-making.
Rosali talked about the piece “Music for Silk and Strings” – an interactive acoustic sound installation where silk threads are attached to various points in the room from the strings of a string instrument, which then act as a resonating chamber. This creates a spatially expanded instrument that participants experience sensorially through tactile contact with the strings, the ear’s encounter with the sounds, and the architectural intervention of the installation in the space.
This artistic piece aims to achieve a situation of non-hierarchical collective music-making, where everyone is a co-creator and musician. The installation has had several incarnations so far, and will be presented in the Faroe Islands in June 2024.
