In Identitetshandlingar i C-dur(Identity Documents in C Major), the brutal yet fragile physicality of sound is highlighted through the coexistence of noise and pitch. In this piece, every sound has an intention; they emerge and develop like impulses, forming chains and movements that strive forward.

The sounds gain intention and meaning by being part of a larger whole — a collective motion.
They create textures and layers: intense, compact — at times sparse — in an active state of anticipation.

A C-major chord has been dismantled into microscopic fragments that become noise.
Noise as a sign of life, breath, and inevitable change.
The merciless conditions of life, connecting the contemporary with tradition.
