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.

September 14th there’s an opening concert for the 4th Rainforest installation workshop that Derek Holzer and I’ve done together. This time we have 6 local participants and it is the first time it is set up in public space. We’re collaborating with and are supported by Kulturforvaltningen, Århus Kommune and www.byiby.dk. In Århus we’re situated amidst a very interesting ongoing temporary urban space experiment right in the center of Århus. (see below for location)

The opening starts at 17 hrs with a concert and saturday and sunday between 12-17 the Rainforest will run as an ongoing performance installation. Free entry and everybody is invited to come and have a go with (amongst other stuff) our 3 meter long scrapmetal urinal.

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.

Rocket Launch performance @ Global Units

As part of the monthly open jam-session, Global Units, a special lineup was made with the Ren Optur ensemble, our space launch orchestra performing improv events for space launches.

It was a nice performance, not least because we had a professional and dedicated pair of sound technicians, that managed to get a nice live-sound out of 8 performers with each their own weird mikro-cosm + a good master recording with tons of possibilities for after editing and producing nice documentary material.

You can listen to a short excerpt at Ren Opturs homepage, as well as dig into more material, upcoming events etc. For a full version of the concert, as well as a video + other interesting free impro stuff from the same evening, see the Global Units page, look for session #5.

If you feel like, please support the Global Units cause by donating in return for downloading their recordings. They do an amazing non-commercial event and it would be really nice to have more of this kind.
