Tondikt med Söderskär is a cityinstallation planned and composed for Porvoo and Avanti! 2022. It will be performed in Porvoo´s Jokiranta for 15 years during 2022–2037. The sound installation was executed with Jussi Suonikko.
Tondikt med Söderskär is inspired by the bare and beautiful nature of Söderskär and its lighthouse. High whistles of guillemot, the chains of boat, the sound of the open sea and the wind and the wavering hurricane lamp are united in this symphonic poem with a verse Söderskär by Arvo Turtiainen.
Vocalist on the tape is Kielo Kärkkäinen.
Duration: 02:23
The sound installation was commissioned by Porvoo city and Avanti!

Tondikt med Söderskär, a verse from Arvo Turtiainen´s poem Söderskär
Siellä auringon uuvuttamat luodot
ja karien kuumat otsat,
siellä aaltojen lakkaamaton ajo
ja maininkien paini riuttojen rintaa vasten.
Diktfragment Arvo Turtiainen, översättning Henrika Ringbom
Därute skären utmattade av solen
och grynnornas heta pannor
därute vågornas ändlösa gång
och dyningarna tryckta mot revens bröstkorg
