10 juni – Klang Festival 2026 – Walking in the Now

Ann Rosén: Walking in the Now

Using graphite and paper connected to electronic systems, Ann Rosén generates, shapes, and processes sound in real time. Graphite’s inherent resistance, affected by humidity and temperature, directly influences the sound, and makes each performance unique to the space. What happens in the room shapes not only the listening experience, but the material itself. With Walking in the Now, Ann Rosén invites the audience into a shared listening experience rooted in the present moment.

The score is a description — a way of conveying a feeling and an experience — of Ann’s forty-two-year artistic process. Based on works, projects and time periods, Ann Rosén has created symbols that she uses in the composition to indicate different types of playing styles, free to interpret: Resonance, Accelerando full stop, Back and forth, Change direction, Noise, Mute and Resistance. Essays by Bennett Hogg composer (UK), Gunnel Pettersson artist (SE) and Julian Cowley music journalist (UK).
