POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I have been building a 100 speaker spatial sound system. I have been so consumed by the process I forgot to post about the interview on RUV English. I am looking for sponsorship/fiscal support or the ability to borrow goods. I have built out most of the speaker bodies. But I still need large soundcards, an unspeakable amount of speaker wire and 9V adapters… Monetary support is welcomed via link in bio and you can also find the link to the interview. Thanks for witnessing my creation as it grows. I will be building it out on the 14th. The first of two shows will be June 5 with more sneak peaks to come.

PS - At the end of the interview are couple songs pre-release - got tickle your ears taken in Reykjavík, Iceland by @sumvivus

Sinceriously,
Pinch me,
I can barely believe I made it.
I built a 100 speakers sound system from scratch with my own hands..

I am still coming to terms with all of the work it takes to make something out of nothing.

I am hoping to inspire a second breath of life into this installation. so it can live on past the memories and documentation that is to come… The first but not the last of many thank yous… Thank you to everyone who supported me through the process of the project naked soul…

There is more to come so follow along of your curiosity is peaked…

Thanks for the 🎥 @julsternak

Lightness of being is the only way… For me this season is one of patience and surrender. Life has its ups and downs and all arounds. But joy is released in each moment witnessed and welcomed. Who knows what comes next. Dropping expectations and listening to what ever comes witnessing it with acceptance and curiosity. For in this moment I chose lightness of being. For it is the only way through a stage of unknowns that have me caught in chaotic stillness of self. I have never been who I am now and I never will be again. So I am taking every moment to enjoy these ups and downs and all arounds. To feel them whole heartedly to let them come go like the weather.

This is part of a project I have been working on. Surreal Portraits of awareness of self created with artist and friends these photos give credit to me @gobbeldigook @officiallyhilary @vashonartistresidency

Meet SumVivus
She already performed at Oktaves Vol.04 and she comes back with a fuller set for this very special edition for the first time at Mengi.

SumVivus, a solo artist, creates ripples through vocal sound waves looped to create a choral ensemble of one. While plucking the strings of a harp to create a sonic bed for the voice to wrap itself in. Welcoming the audience to relax into the moment treating it as a present to be unraveled in the present.

📍 Mengi - Óðinsgata 2, Reykjavík
📅 17 October
🚪 Doors 19:30
🎵 Show 20:00

💰 2500 kr.

I may be bleeding speaker wire… I spent my last hour before being done with break down and load out becoming the speaker wire (I jest) Patiently awaiting lidar scan documentation and edits for a tiny (I mean tiny) video doc talking about my 100 speaker build/ performance project/naked soul…. Looking forward to bringing it to another space in Reykjavik… Also dayyyymmm you look good today! Thanks to everyone who helped this project come alive. More to come… taken in Reykjavik, Iceland by @sumvivus

Dark days festival Jan 2025
A wrinkle in time

I am consistently inconsistent... So I guess I have something going for me. I figured I should share some of the performances I have been a part of this year. Forever thankful for the opportunity to take up space and for all of the people that make all performances possible. The audience, stage managers, sound techs, instrument movers, curators and performers. I will forever tip my hat in gratitude, nothing is possible without all of you… taken in Harpa tónlistar- og ráðstefnuhús / Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre by @sumvivus
