Kirstine Fogh Vindelev
composer
Through musical displays of words and sounds the Danish composer Kirstin Fogh Vindelev explores complex conditions and systems. With her documentary approach, field recordings and transcriptions of these she examines darkened and parallel societies. Her work is often based on a need to break the normalized, the familiar and harmonious. She challenges our inherent associations and expectations of a place, a material and a form.
To Kirstine Fogh Vindelev composing is a way of comprehending the world and the times we live in. The horror and seriousness of reality is exhibited with sober compositional methods which often are being staged through the bodies of the musicians.
