Dansk
Hvad vil det sige at være en person i en tid, hvor hvert eneste øjeblik af vores liv overvåges og udnyttes af de enheder, vi har udvidet vores bevidsthed til? Dette er blot et af de mange spørgsmål, der stilles af PERSONHOOD, et værk af den irske komponist Jennifer Walshe bestilt af Oslo Sinfonietta. I en udforskning af begrænsningerne for menneskets selvbestemmelse er akkordeonist Andreas Borregaard omgivet af Sinfoniettaen og udsat for en række tests og procedurer. Mens han forsøger at spille på sin accordion, tvinges han til at udføre obskure koreografier, se film fyldt med subliminale budskaber og drikke smoothies i mærkelige farver. Er vi i et laboratorium? I en luksus spa? Eller er vi bare hjemme?
Bestillingen er initieret af Borregaard og udløst af et tidligere samarbejde med Walshe. Værket er relateret til hans aktuelle kunstneriske ph.d.-projekt ved Norges Musikhøgskole (NMH), "Just Do It!?", som undersøger musikerens brug af kropsperformance. Projektet reagerer på en nyere strømning indenfor kunstmusikken, hvor performerens krop gøres til et væsentligt element i musikken. I stedet for blot at betjene instrumenter bringes musikerens krop i spil på forskelligartede og indtil nu uhørte måder gennem bevægelser, dans, berøring, recitation, sang, råb og skrig. For en udøvende musiker med rod i traditionel klassisk- eller nymusik er en sådan kropslig praksis et helt nyt felt. På den måde er PERSONHOOD en slags dobbelt udforskning: På én gang en del af en institutionaliseret kunstforskning på NMH og i sig selv et kunstnerisk laboratorium, hvor ensemblet udsætter solisten for en række tankevækkende eksperimenter.

What does it mean to be a person at a time where our every moment is surveilled and monetized by the devices, we have extended our consciousness into? This is just one of the many questions posed by PERSONHOOD, a work by Irish composer Jennifer Walshe commissioned by Oslo Sinfonietta. In an exploration of the limitations of human agency, the accordionist Andreas Borregaard is surrounded by the Sinfonietta and subjected to a range of tests and procedures. Attempting to play his accordion, he finds himself performing obscure choreographies, watching films laden with subliminal messages, and drinking smoothies in strange colors. Are we in a laboratory? A luxury spa? Or are we simply at home?
The commission was initiated by Borregaard and sparked by a previous collaboration with Walshe. It is related to his current artistic PhD project at the Norwegian Music Academy (NMH), “Just Do It!?”, which studies the musician’s use of bodily performance. The project responds to a recent current within art music where the performer’s body is put forward as an essential element of the music. Rather than simply operating instruments, the musician’s body is brought into play in diverse and, until now, unheard ways through movements, dance, touch, recitation, singing, shouting, and screaming. For a performing musician rooted in traditional classical or contemporary music, such a bodily practice is a completely new field. In this way, PERSONHOOD is a sort of double exploration: At once part of an institutionalized art research at NMH and in itself an artistic laboratory where the ensemble subjects the soloist to a series of thought-provoking experiments.
