the (e)scapegoat

for percussion duo and video. 2021. Approx. 11´

A short fable opens this piece for two percussionists and stereo video by the Norwegian composer and artist Erik Dæhlin:

A goat has been sent into the wilderness to carry away the human sins, but the horn of this goat was found close to the river… 

The puzzle that this enigma causes the humans, might resonate through the piece of beaten drums of white canvases.
