program notes:

In øyeblikk (that means “instant” in norwegian), the instant is conceived as the place of sound: a listening window in which perceptual coordinates—energy, spectral distribution, microtime, spatiality—are defined, locating sound within a recognizable region. Form emerges as a trajectory between these places: condensations that turn sound into pressure and contact, and rarefactions that expose grain, residues, and micro-fluctuations. Rather than describing an event, the piece constructs a geography: thresholds where the conditions of audibility change (masking, saturation, transparency), and where sonic matter presents itself not as an object, but as a traversable environment. The “instant” of the title is therefore a point of orientation: not a frame, but a position.
