Gaskačázis

A live audiovisual performance

Gaskačázis is a collaborative project between composer and musician Markus Thonhaugen (iDJa) and visual artist Eili Bråstad. The audience are invited on a meditative journey through a northern landscape of organic and technological expression - where sound and images merge.
Gaskačázis is a northern Sámi word that describes the space beneath the surface. The project explores the intersection between nature, indigenous culture and modern technology. Recordings have been made with tools such as contact microphones and a microscope, which gives the audiences insight into normally invisible and inaudible spaces. The joik is improvised and ties it all together.
Nature in Sápmi is facing great challenges related to human intervention, leaving irreversible transformations to the landscape and its eco systems. The project aims to create reflection on a world in change. Sound and visuals react to each other in real time, creating an evolving environment that emphasizes presence, awareness and sensitivity to change.
The project is supported by the Sámi Parliament in Norway, Arts Council Norway and Nordland County Council.
