TRADITIONING, DISSOLVING: What does 'traditioning' mean, what can the 'traditioned' become? On exploring rules and possible spaces in tradition and creation.
To Ingfrid Breie Nyhus, the apparently impossible combination of folk music and grand piano, is a creatively generative musical situation. The rules of the 'slÄtt' tradition are transposed to a new space in the grand piano, and the rules of the grand piano are destabilized in the meeting with the 'slÄtt'. This exposition unfolds questions, reflections and new questions, from a longer process with the music "SlÄttepiano".
