Work introduction
Inmost is the mapping of Hekla's landscape. By investigating maps and soil components, I re-imagine the tephra dispersion during the volcanic eruptions between 3000-950 BC.
Premiered in Harpa Concert Hall, Reykjavík, November 9th 2023. Performed by the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and Eva Ollikainen, conductor.
