Info
A collaboration between composer Sandra Boss and visual artist Ea Borre. Together, they have created an accordion that expands in dimensions as the accordion stretches to an unexpected degree. The bellows act as a giant lung, creating a rhythm of breaths while inhaling and exhaling sounds through the instrument. Two people are needed to operate the instrument, which has become an obstruction in itself. The modified instrument determines a new way of handling and playing, where gravity and time become essential parameters. The unmanageable size defines a choreography of time limited sculptural poses between two persons and an accordion.

Sandra Boss (b. 1985) and Ea Borre (b. 1984) are a Danish duo from Rødvig Stevns. Boss is a composer working with a transdisciplinary approach to musical performance, resulting in works situated between music, performance, and installation art. Her compositional voice is distinctly explorative with a strong interest in the hidden sonic potentials of instruments and technologies. Borre is a visual artist working with sculpture and performance, often involving movement and sound. Driven by curiosity and a playful approach, she explores and extracts complicated mechanisms and principles and unfolds them in a both logical and poetic way.
