Vi hedder ilinx – vil du se vores playliste?

»Musik er for os: at kende hinanden indgående, at synge sammen, at forbinde sig, at sende Ariana Grande-impression-videoer på Instagram, et sted, hvor vi kan forene modstridende følelser og sider af os selv, et rum til at være sexet, begejstret, fjollet, vred og i sorg, en nødvendighed, det, der tager over, når ordene ikke rækker, svært at lave – men nemmere, når man gør det sammen.«

Ved at kombinere middelalderlig kormusik, skrøbelig minimalisme, dekonstrueret R&B og a capella pigepunk skaber ilinx musik, der er lige så futuristisk, som den er traditionel. Gruppen blev født ud af et ønske om at udforske den menneskelige stemmes potentiale til at skabe og nære menneskelige forbindelser, og på scenen skaber ilinx et intimt rum med en nærmest spirituel kvalitet og inviterer til forening – forening i fællesskabet og forening af de sider af os selv, der kan føles modstridende, samt forening mellem ilinx og lytterne. ilinx består af de tre komponister og sangere Anna Mæhl, Laura Marie Madsen og Amanda Appel. Lige nu arbejder de på et korværk baseret på digtsuiten »Åbne huse« fra Asta Olivia Nordenhofs roman Djævlebogen, som opføres Roskilde Festival 2024.

Tomutonttu: »Hoshi«

Vauva, 02.12

Kristoffer Møllegaard

The Finnish multimedia artist Jan Anderzén has, with the album Hoshi, released under the solo moniker Tomutonttu, created a true little star. Not only because »hoshi« literally means »star« in Japanese, but above all due to the music itself. There is something cosmic, yet infinitely minute, about the sonic worlds Anderzén conjures—like a galaxy reflected in a puddle, or a space journey in a rocket carved from a hollow tree trunk. Synths emit busy, warm blips and bloops, while ultra-short vocal and instrumental samples create a recognizable blur. At once artificial and organic – soft, rounded, jagged, crackling.

Anderzén approaches sound with a playfulness I simply adore. His music is strange in an incredibly comforting way. It places me in a kind of colorful, trance-like state, only interrupted when, several times over the course of the album, I find myself smiling in delight at a particularly great sound. The synths on »Katse osuu sähköön!« The choral samples on »Kesä oli äkkiä ohi!« Milo Linnovaara’s flute on »Malta lausua ‘AH’!« And many more. Hoshi is an album packed with microscopic moments that together form a frayed, exploding, radiant, idiosyncratic whole—a stellar moment of just under 38 minutes.
