Visualization of the CD-Cover for the musical piece “Lied”, originally composed for clarinet by L. Berio, but arranged for alto saxophone by Fredrik Brandstorp Olsen. This was a student collaboration project between Westerdals and NISS (Nordisk Institutt for Scene og Studio).

Music play “Lied” can be interpreted as an internal conflict between two opposite sides of a personality, with beautiful harmony, but at the same time there are small parts that try to “destroy” tranquility. Through form, color and contrast, we have tried to recreate the energy of the two different sides of a persons personality, “positive” and “negative” and the conflict that arises between them.
