About

While searching for something completely unrelated I stumbled across Jon Fosse’s short, cunning poem “Ingenting” and let myself be inspired by it. The words are set to the atmosphere of an evening scene. All sounds were recorded in the evening hours.

The Norwegian title translates to “Nothing”.
