Venutian Wetlands by Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir
Venutian Wetlands is yet another attempt at capturing an epiphany Bergrún experienced while sitting beside a pond on the Mills College campus; coincidentally, the same pond that inspired Pauline Oliveros’s Alien Bog.
Hailing from the peripheries of Iceland, Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir’s elemental style follows inner logics when approaching composition, often integrating sound and other phenomena into an indivisible whole – creating mutable, breathing, living structures through experimental performance practices and notation. Her work has been presented by such groups as the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, Ensemble Musikfabrik, Avanti!, Nordic Affect and KNM Berlin, to name a few, and featured in major festivals and events such as Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart, Tectonics, Only Connect, Ultima, KLANG, ISCM’s World New Music Days, Sound of Stockholm, Prototype, Sequences Art Festival and more. Since 2022, Bergrún has been Assistant Professor of Composition at Iceland University of the Arts in Reykjavík.
