about

A Northern Year, composed by Hafdís Bjarnadóttir and performed by Passepartout Duo, indulges in the music that is hidden in everyday natural phenomena by transforming data about the sun’s position in the sky above Reykjavík into melodies and rhythms for piano, percussion, and electronics.

Beginning and ending at the solstices, the piece follows a cycle that is often a backdrop for life in the north: energetic and bright summers followed by introverted and dark winters.
