Bevæg - three months in
My artistic research and development project (KUV) Bevæg - Bevægende - Bevægelser (Move - Moving - Movements) has now entered its third month, and it is wonderful to be able to immerse myself fully in the processes.
I have held two laboratories with choreographer Ingrid Kristensen, and a third is planned for October. I have produced six short video experiments, which are currently maturing before they perhaps go out into the world. I have also recorded a good deal of sound, made braille prints and taken clay imprints of bark, so that the surfaces of the trees can also be felt with the hands. Along the way I have written countless Ænset sensings, short written notations of things noticed, which can be read (and seen) on my blog.
There have also been many inspiring conversations and reflections, which will form the basis for new investigations and experiments.

The tree below we will visit next time we meet, and most likely film some movements with him/her
In the last autumn months of 2025, I began to formulate an idea - rooted in my own way of being present in the world. It surfaced again when I wrote the final report for my KUV project SPOR - Mellem Aftryk og Lyd - where it found its place as an insight that had grown out of the project: that all the methods in SPOR rest on the ability to be attentive and open. That idea became Én smuk ting - a sensory-based wellbeing activity. Sorry, Danish only so far
I am in the process of creating a page for the documentation of my KUV project SPOR - Between imprint and sound.
The site is under construction, but you can take a look by following the link above.
The teaching material for my PUV project Indtryk - Aftryk - Udtryk (Impression - Imprint - Expression) is now available in both Danish and English. Read / download both versions as PDF below.
Bees and Blossoming Trees
The other day I went for a walk in the forest and noticed bees buzzing eagerly around the blossoms on the fruit trees along the path. I came back with a recorder and my new Instruō Pocket Scion — a small device that measures electrical impulses in plants and turns them into sound via an algorithm. What you hear here is a mix of the two recordings.

Video and sound recording of the life in seagrass on the beach
I've just received these soil mics, custom-designed and built for me by Irish sound artist David Stalling. I'm looking forward to recording and discovering the hidden soundscapes beneath the earth's surface.
