Underwater love in Århus

First weekend in february, I’ll be heading to Århus where I’m invited to do an underwater soundinstallation and concert together with the exciting Århus-based underwater orchestra AquaSonic who has kindly asked me to participate in their gig. I’ll bring a re-developed soundsystem from the Sejerø-festival project together with a re-found love for my 6-string bass and violinbow + the various effectpedal feedback-setups I’m using in my Rainforest constellations.

The gig is held sunday february 3rd at 19 hrs. in the swimming hall called Spanien as part of the greater event “Kærlighed” arranged by the peoples university in Århus.

SOUNDBUS

The SOUNDBUS is a soundinstallation and performance developed for the festival ACTS 2012 in Roskilde, Denmark.

In a bus, I’ve installed contact microphones connected to a multichannel soundsystem to be operated in a MAX/MSP and Reaper controlled environment. I’ll be playing by the sounds coming from the bus, as it drives through the landscape with passengers sitting inside.

The result can be compared to some sort of windchime-like setup, organically developing and gradually changing as I try to play along the sounds coming from the bus journeying through the landscape.

The idea is a derivate from my other ongoing works with enhancement and manipulation of sound, as in my Tactile Acoustic workshop, and underwater soundsystem.

CEO-Bendorama in live TV

“Our next step must be the national television”, John proclaimed as we’d finished our session in november 2011 with the danish radio channel 24/7.

As predicted, half a year later we find ourselves invited to do a performance and interview to the national childrens channel DR Ramasjang, as part of their friday afternoon live show.

Theme of the day in Ramasjang is “naughty friday”, and what a perfect setting for a group of circuit disturbing/-ed soundnerds to unfold their talents.

See the show here

Obernkarbi offline and back again

Due to the increase in numbers of family members, the birth of my beautiful son Anker, Obernkarbi has been somewhat distracted towards family matters in this first half of 2012. Some few projects have been on their way, and they’re emerging throughout the summer.

Keep posted and you won’t miss a thing :)

Have a nice summer whereever you are

Tuning the City – Workshop in Tallin 2011

 

Playful immediatism and physical simultaneity merged with radical methods of interventionism. This is a documentation from a workshop on tactile-acoustic interventionism, where the participants investigate and experiment with resonant properties of objects and structures in public space.

The workshop were held in july 2011 as part of the exciting festival TUNED CITY that took place in Tallin, Estonia as part of the European Capital of Culture 2011.

After a phase of experimenting, the participants go into setting up temporary sound installations, where selected objects are transformed into acoustic sources and sounding units. Thus the end results of the workshop is a ‘hidden’ soundinstallation where the existing objects and structures in public space are converted into “instruments” and “speakers”.

The underlying mission is to emphazise the positive aspects of using sound as prime medium of acquirement and perceptionally challenge a visually dominated and over-crowded public and communicative space.

My tech-setup is a special developed sound system, optimized to mobilty and quick independent interventions. Some challenge since sound installation art can be some of the most gear-heavy stuff :)
