Epicentrum
Music and art are expressions of emotions. Emotions in turn are based on a set of primary affects that are universal to humans across all cultures. Epicentrum consists of musical tableaux built upon poems by Bruno K. Öijer, each depicting a corresponding fundamental affect: anger, sorrow, surprise, joy, fear, shame, and disgust.
The full piece is 24 minutes long, but selected sections are also available below as shorter individual film clips.
