2025 - ongoing | composer duo with Michel Wenzer
Vento Nero is a composer duo with Michel Wenzer and Fredrik Gran, working with working across film, games, installations and scenic works. Their collaboration brings together a cinematic sensitivity to sound, time and narrative with Gran’s practice in robotics and mechanical performance systems. Occultations is a groundbreaking 50-minute suite for string quartet, electronics, visuals, and robotics, exploring acoustic performance, robotic agency and spatial perception. Structured in seven movements and performed live, the work brings together acoustic craftsmanship, mechanical gesture, and cinematic imagery in a striking new hybrid form aiming at reshaping the boundaries of contemporary chamber music.
Codex Regius is a 55-minute interdisciplinary stage work by the composer duo Vento Nero, drawing on two foundational texts from Codex Regius — Hávamál and Völuspá (The Seeress´ Prophecy). The work unfolds as a contemporary ritual where ancient Nordic poetry meets cutting-edge stage technology, exploring themes of knowledge, prophecy, ethics, collapse, and renewal.
Through live music, voice, robotics, and immersive projections, the performance reactivates the Eddic texts not as historical artefacts, but as living material — resonant with the existential and societal questions of our time.
Within the broader Vento Nero practice, Black Lodger unfolds as a parallel sonic world—where music, memory and cinematic archetypes form slow, precise structures between fiction and experience.
