Franzson: The Negotiation of Context

“the Negotiation of Context” by the native Icelander David Brynjar Franzson is a set of three independent pieces. Each of the three pieces is assembled from various sounds and contexts on top of a topography of pre-existing programs: the history of the instruments, the social dynamics of the performers, and the means of presentation of the piece. The listener is presented with a series of materials that embody how performers play with or against each other.
