Written for Nordic Affect. The first performance was given on 30 September 2016 in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Duration: c. 8 minutes

With expressive tranquility

Performance Notes Abbreviations l.b.pr. light bow pressure on the string for an airy effect m.b.pr. much bow pressure on the string for a subtle atmospheric, sustained distortion sound through continued movement of the bow. Not so much that the flow of the bow is disturbed or that the sound becomes too aggressive. s.p. sul ponticello s.t. sul tasto ord. takes back all special effects/performing techniques applied, including (but not limited to) sul pont., light bow pressure etc. w with General When pitches are sustained/slurred through an extended period of time, breathe/bow as necessary, not synchronised.

B I D Â

Quarter tone flat Quarter tone flat above Quarter tone sharp Quarter tone sharp above E Former effect/sound/technique/indication gradually becomes the following one.

All glissandos should be played/sung throughout the duration of the note value it is written by.

Noteheads Place left hand (not only one finger) lightly on indicated string, around given pitch area, not on harmonic. Fingers are not to be placed on exact pitches. This produces an un-pitched airy sound. The lower small note head indicates the open string to be performed on, the upper note head indicates the approximate position of the hand.

When indicated with glissando and rhythm, move fingers and hand up and down the string as indicated, and articulate with fingers ‘on air’ (this will produce color to the airy sound).
