Wictor Eldervik uses his background in craft and welding to summon voices within materials. The instruments and sound objects are reflections of what Eldervik sees around him. In his journey of craft, and by using different materials and methods, he has landed in the realms of wind.
The wind instruments creates a particular fascination that captures the essence of body and mind. By working with the sound, it creates a space for the body to experience the space between senses. The lines between listening, the act of making, tactility and the breath. This method of navigating through the borders between senses, allows for deep thinking and existential awareness. Lead by the objects and in a landscape of sound.
