Sonosphere pairs Icelandic ecosystems with symphony orchestra instruments. The grand scale of the Lantern’s video façade juxtaposes with the macro-intimacy of sandstorm, moth, meltwater, geothermal steam, and musicians caressing their instruments.

Andervel has composed music for Sonosphere, the eight-minute macro-video art created for NACO’s SPHERE Festival and the Kipnes Lantern. The soundtrack of eight minutes in total, is divided into four chapters lasting two minutes each,
portraying the four ecosystems (Litosphere, Biosphere, Hydrosphere and Atmosphere) represented by the cinematographer Patrik Ontkovic and directed by Angela Rawlings.

The sound composition is based on field recordings made by Andervel in situ in summer 2022 at Icelandic geographic phenomenon—black-sand beach, moss-covered lava field, melting glacier, and sulfuric fumarole. (Rawlings, Angela)

Sonosphere was premiered on the 22nd of September 2022,  at the National Arts Centre (Canada), Kipnes Lantern
