About the Project:

"Dark Minds" is a gripping performance that explores the power of thought and the impact of fake news. Four individuals meet in a gymnasium where, according to an urban legend, four teenagers were found dead under mysterious circumstances. They come across a series of recordings from the teenagers' last night alive and decide to recreate the evening to fill in the gaps and try to understand what really happened. A power play begins within the group as they try to control each other. Then it turns out that this urban legend is a hoax. Or is it?

BK Sannerud's Contribution:

In this project, Sannerud created a unique soundscape that drew inspiration from rave and gabber music, embodying the intense and mysterious atmosphere of the performance. He also incorporated elements of the VHS aesthetic, creating a rich and evocative auditory experience that complemented the performance's exploration of urban legends and the power of belief.
