Buns was the first collaboration between Cara Tolmie and Stine Janvin.
The two presented a new collaborative performance based on their shared experiments with restrictive uses of the repeated and defamilarised voice. In getting to know one another for the first time during this working process the pair laid the ground for this performance by sharing a curious exploration into discovering discomforting thresholds within the branded industry concepts of “hygge”,”kos”, and “mys”. Along the way this investigation has also meandered through ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) cultures, analogue amplification, train schedules, exaggerated proximities and temptations of conformity. This new performance project was initiated by edition – festival for other music, Lauri Hyvärinen, and Borealis – a festival for experimental music, to imagine new works for non-culture spaces.
