Work Overview
'Physarmonica II' or bellows accordion, is a work for live and pre-recorded accordions from very different eras. It explores their relationship in time, using suspension, distance and collision, acknowledging also the social and historical context of the sound. Through its source - air - comes the 'rawness'.
