The Negotiation of Context
Icelandic composer Davíð Brynjar Franzson was in residence with ensemble Yarn/Wire to record, edit, and master both audio and video for an upcoming release. Franzson is known for his experimentation with music at the edge of perception, bringing sounds from between the cracks of consciousness to the forefront of perception. Yarn/Wire is a New York City-based ensemble featuring two pianists and two percussionists who interpreted Franzson’s work for the recording. Yarn/Wire frequently presents US premieres by leading international composers, in addition to premieres of music written specifically for the ensemble. Davíð Brynjar Franzson has collaborated with ensembles such as Ensemble Adapter and the Mivos Quartet in addition to Yarn/Wire. His scores are published by Schott Music and his music can be heard on WERGO, Innova, Spektral, Smekkleysa and Carrier Records, a NYC-based record label that he co-runs with Sam Pluta and Jeff Snyder.
