Percussion, double bass, alto flute and acousmatic sound (1998)

'Snow and Instability' is the first in a series of works entitled 'microclimates'. Each work is structurally balanced, not in a symmetrical sense, but through the 'life' of one articulation resulting in a subsequent and counterbalancing reaction. This work attempts to concentrated the beauty and violence of a natural landscape into the 'microclimate' of the work - forming an organisational space that reflects, in acoustic form, the natural world and source inspiration. Microclimate-I: Snow and Instability was commissioned by the International Computer Music Association (USA) and recorded here by Cikada (NO) performers:  Kersti Wallden, Bjørn Rabben, and Magnus Söderberg in 1999.
