Rokkur
A performance based on the old yarn spinning tool called ”Rokkur” in Faroese. The process of making wool into yarn and yarn into garment makes sound. In addition to the acoustic sounds produced, we use electronics to augment the sounds and add sound samples that relate to wool and woolworking. Upon the bedrock of sound created musical improvisations are formed.
Reuben Fenemore and Sarah Albu created this project together with Heðin Ziska Davidsen
