Tides And Wanderings

Comes in a handmade bag made from parachute silk with leather laces and a carabine. The bag holds a printed cassette, a text on blue paper folded as a paper bag to bring when collecting seeds from nature, and a photo by the artist printed on a card. Siri Austeen`s artistic practice is often based on investigative field recordings and long-term projects addressing themes related to the interplay of individual, collective and ecological structures. She explores these connections through sound installations, text, performance and public art commissions. Since the early 80s, she has also been involved in various musical projects as part of her practice. With Tides and Wanderings Austeen reflects on concepts such as movement, navigation, coexistence and polyphony, thematized through her own lyrics, field recordings, vocal as well as the use of piano, a self-built bass and her signature instrument the saxopet. Composed, produced and mixed by Siri Austeen Recorded at Observatoriet with Kenneth Ishak, additional recordings at Austeen Studio.
