A relaxed atmosphere and comfy chairs are keywords for the first of four electroacoustic lounges. The theme is nature and electronics.
Composer and percussionist Kjell Samkopf’s unique ‘sono- graphic’ works are the main focus this evening. The concert also serves as a release party for his new CD Burragorangian Stones.
The works presented:
Mårådalen Walk (1993), Taormina Sketches (2002) and Burra- gorangian Stones (2003).
The latter of these came about while Samkopf attended an art seminar in New South Wales, Australia in 2003, and consists of his re- cordings of the Burrago- rang landscape.Before and after the concert there will be an opportunity to hear Mårådalen Fragments, a work for five loops from 1993.
Traditional Norwegian fare such as berries, ground coffee, cured meats, grilled mushrooms (John Cage was a mushroom specialist) and blackcurrant toddy will be served.
The lounge opens at 18.00, conversations between Sampopf and Flø from 19.00
Curator Asbjørn Flø ties in the sounds of electronic music with archive recordings of traditional music.
