Ijósid at Octave 9

This 30-minute audio-responsive media project was developed in collaboration with solo guitarist JIJI. The project’s title evokes the quiet persistence of light as it moves through bodies, materials, and histories. Young draws inspiration from lumen prints, optical prisms, and naturally occurring phenomena like refraction and shadow, to craft a tactile visual language for Seattle Symphony’s unique immersive space, Octave 9. JIJI’s musical program spans the 12th century to today, featuring compositions by Hildegard von Bingen, Claudia Sessa, Laurie Spiegel, and her own works. Together, sound and image unfold in an expansive, responsive dialogue.
