MORGON and KVELD were originally two site-specific works for 3 vocalists and James Turrell's light installation, Hardanger Skyspace in Øystese. MORGON and KVELD serve as reflections of each other, where one piece starts where the other ends, and vice versa. In context, the two works form a cycle without a clear beginning or end. The works have a contemplative nature and seek to reflect the cycle of light through dawn and dusk, and the eternal repetition of awakening and going to rest. Slow changes are pivotal to the works and can, in many ways, resemble an auditory meditation, much like Hardanger Skyspace operates as a meditation on light.
Hardanger Skyspace aims to observe the sky during sunrise and sunset. Through an elliptical opening in the ceiling, one gazes upon the sky and observes how the light changes through dawn and dusk, while shifting colors inside the room manipulate the perception of what one sees. Hardanger Skyspace invites a contemplative experience while simultaneously questioning our own perception through the visual illusions that arise in encountering the light installation.
MORGON and KVELD premiered in Hardanger Skyspace during the autumn equinox, September 2022. In the concert version, the works align with sunrise and sunset, just like Hardanger Skyspace, and their length changes accordingly throughout the year. However, this recording has been made in the studio, and the works have also been adapted and tailored for a shorter version in consideration of release."
