"Micranthes Stellaris (Tuomas Norvio rework for FLOS)"

Previously unreleased

FLOS is an interdisciplinary concert concept, brought to life by Aino Peltomaa’s Ensemble Gamut! in collaboration with visual artist Vappu Rossi and sound artist Tuomas Norvio. The theme of the performance centres on endangered flower species from the Arctic. Rossi creates large scale, live-drawn artworks on an acoustic wall inspired by the flowers and Ensemble Gamut!’s music. Sound artist Norvio produces real-time sound from Rossi’s drawing tools, giving the emerging forms of the flowers an audible presence for the audience. In every performance, a visual artwork is born and these artworks are presented in art museums and exhibitions. FLOS has toured in Finland, Germany and Belgium.
