Lisa Stenberg, David Zimmerman

“Över mitt ögas dag” by composer Lisa Stenberg and poet David Zimmerman is a collaborative text and sound work in which both past and future are constantly gravitating towards the present – a “now” as raging as it is inept.

The glacial electronics of Lisa Stenberg slowly grinds through both David Zimmerman’s lyrical segments and the adapted fragments of Vilhelm Ekelund’s ancient grave epigrams, all the while lamenting;

Nej / inga klockor märker ut / döda längre

För allt är onödigt, en avsägelse

In addition to the collaborative title track, the album features five of Stenberg’s instrumental compositions. All sharing the poem by Zimmerman as a point of departure and centered around the Halldorophone – an electroacoustic string and feedback instrument created by Halldór Úlfarsson.
