A prelude to the concert at the Henie Onstad Art Centre with a multimedia artist Camille Norment.
The multimedia artist Camille Norment (b. 1970) was based in New York until moving to Europe in 2004, now living in Oslo. Two of her works will presented, an eight-channel sound sculpture in the sculpture park and the first performance of Within the Toll. Inspiration for both works came from the glass armonica, which was invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1763. The tones are created when moistened fingers rub the rims of differently tuned bell jars that are fixed to a pedal-powered axle. Norment will play the glass armonica, accompanied by Håvard Skaset on electric guitar and Vegar Vårdal on Hardanger fiddle.
