US-born Jennifer Torrence is a percussionist, composer and artistic researcher based in Oslo, Norway. Storytelling, erasure, and place unite the three works in her programme. Deserted places, sites facing erasure, and their abstracted and fragmented memories receive quiet recognition. Message from the Lighthouse by Hanna Hartman combines field recordings and electronic sound with percussion and found objects, calling for a precision in listening that is wholly unique to Hartman鈥檚 music. Riuti from Walter Zimmerman鈥檚 cycle, Lokale Muzik, sets a disappearing one-woman marching band into motion as she roll-calls deserted German villages. And Ecology 2 by Gloria Coates is a work for voice, objects, and electronics where children鈥檚 fairy tales warn us about the loss of ecosystems. At its premiere in Berlin in 1978, Coates removed the spoken text and retitled the work Between, arguably due to pressure from the coal industry and the government that protected it. Torrence presents the work in its original version: 鈥淢ay the resistance be heard鈥�, she asserts.
