‘3 korte’ fra Kristian Hverring, manden bag kunstnernavnet Krishve

I en serie af mini-interviews spørger Seismograf/DMT forskellige aktører på musik- og lydkunstscenen til aktuelle anbefalinger af værker eller events. Se her denne anderledes og personlige værkanbefaling fra den ene af initiativtagerne til LYT TIL KBH og manden bag kunstnernavnet Krishve, Kristian Hverring.

1) Hvilket værk vil du gerne anbefale til andre?
Jeg bliver nok nødt til at vælge en drøm, jeg havde for noget tid siden. En koncert i et gammelt nedlagt biografkompleks i Bruxelles. På scenen var medlemmer af The Residents, Coil, Slayer, Velvet Underground, Guns N’ Roses og Einstürzende Neubauten. Cash, Bowie og Derbyshire gjorde også et eller andet. Arvo Pärt kom ind på scenen, men gik ud igen med det samme. Så Ligeti og Lemmy i baren. Over scenen svævede en sky af helikopterkatte. Lee Hazlewood, Scott Walker, Laurie Anderson og Ronettes sang kor. David Lynch dirigerede. Hans bidrag bestod i forundrede smil og flagrende håndbevægelser i retning af John Cage, der ved et komfur strøg en fjer mod en kogende kedel. Lars von Trier lavede lyd. Sublimt dårligt. Med vilje. Inger Christensen skammede sig bare. På alles vegne. Musikken var en kakofoni af knækket selvværd i HD. Uimodsigelig som en naturkraft, asiatisk i sin vælde, grum som et K-hole. Jeg vågnede med en underlig tilfredsstillelse i kroppen.

2) Hvorfor er dette værk særligt?
Det er vigtigt at drømme. Og sove, hvis man kan. Det er godt for hørelsen.

3) Hvad arbejder du selv med lige nu?
“1 + 1 = 3 [30 sekunder]” er en serie af improviserede 30 sekunders duetter med skiftende samarbejdspartnere. Det har stået på siden 2009 og viser ingen tegn på at gå væk. Kan opleves på film eller live. Er samtidig ved at tyde konturerne af to nye udgivelser. Den ene bliver en kortere ting, den anden længere, og på vinyl. Jeg glæder mig meget til at møde dem begge. Man kan se med på min hjemmeside www.krishve.com.

LYT TIL KBH er et samarbejde jeg har med arkitekten Jakob Oredsson. LYT TIL KBH bor på hjemmesiden www.lyttilkbh.dk og kan antydes med disse korte instrukser:
- Gå ud i byen
- Placer dine hænder bag ørerne
- Lyt til byens lyde

På hjemmesiden finder man en mere uddybende beskrivelse af intentionerne bag, samt binaurale optagelser fra forskellige steder i København. Vi arbejder i øjeblikket på næste trin. LYT TIL KBH er kun lige begyndt at vise sig, og vi planlægger en lang rejse.

Jeg er også involveret i et par nye projekter med Hotel Pro Forma, som jeg efterhånden har samarbejdet med i tre år. Derudover arbejder jeg på lydsiden til en udstilling på Nordatlantens Brygge til efteråret. Det lover godt for drømmene, men varsler ilde for søvnen.

Somewhere Between an Acid Dream and a Sound Garden

Kaloja: »A Body of Water«

Artetetra, 19.05

Kristoffer Møllegaard

On A Body of Water, you step directly into the singular sonic universe of Finnish multimedia artist Jan Anderzén(Tomutonttu, Kemialliset Ystävät). The album unfolds as a collage of whimsical melodies created in collaboration with British musician Paul Wilson (f.ampism, Yayoba), whose contributions subtly enrich the colorful patchwork of sonic threads. Subtle, perhaps, but unmistakable. The soundscape is densely detailed: beneath the constantly shifting melodies, countless tiny sonic shoots stretch eagerly toward the eardrum. It feels like an acid dream in which everything around you – from roadside flowers to airplanes crossing the sky – has suddenly begun to sing.

Paradoxically, this flood of chaotic and rapidly changing impressions gives the music an almost ambient quality. There is great pleasure in listening closely to the miniature details bubbling beneath the surface, occasionally bursting through to dominate the frequencies for a brief moment.

Yet strong, recurring melodies capable of anchoring the listening experience remain absent in favor of mood and texture. Importantly, this is not a flaw. Heard through an ambient lens, the album – which at first can seem slightly directionless – suddenly reveals its logic. Its playful depth and lack of rigid structure encourage endless free association. It is wonderful music for drifting thought: a multicolored universe where the imagination continually discovers new pathways through a dense undergrowth of details.

We are L'arannà – would you like to see our playlist?

»To us, music is the definitive companion. As listeners, it fosters a sense of communion, bridging the gap between souls through the shared experience of sound. As creators, however, music confronts us with our own inner void, that profound solitude that nourishes the creative spirit. At the same time, it dares us to leap into the unknown to decipher the ineffable. Music anchors us to the present moment, to the 'now' shared with a live audience; yet, it also touches the eternal.«

L'arannà is an electronic folk duo. With their last project, Turmarí, the duo dives deep into the folk music traditions of the Pityusic Islands, offering – through their blend of sound exploration– a perspective on Ibiza and Formentera. Synthesizers and keyboards share the stage with traditional instruments and aesthetics inspired by the ancestral ball pagès dance. Reviving cant redoblat (a unique form of singing from these islands preserved by fewer than twenty people) the group weaves a narrative that traces the roots and lived reality of two islands that are far more than just a dreamt-of paradise. The band will be touring around Denmark and Sweden, from 27th to 31th of May, playing at venues like Turkis, Dexter, Inkonst or ALICE.

My name is Marcela Lucatelli – would you like to see my playlist?

»Music to me is movement, trance, transformation. The rest I won't tell you.«

Marcela Lucatelli is a vocalist and composer. Born in Brazil and based in Denmark, she has gained international recognition for her boundary-pushing performances — sensuous, politically charged, and uncompromisingly original. Described by The Wire as a composer of »scores for the limits of bodies and voice,« Lucatelli challenges conventions with her fearless vocal experimentation and bold compositions. Her works have been performed by Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Danish National Vocal Ensemble, and Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart. She has appeared at major festivals and venues, including Theatro Municipal de São Paulo, DR Koncerthuset, Donaueschinger Musiktage, Darmstadt Ferienkurse, IRCAM, Copenhagen Opera Festival, Ultima Festival, Borealis Festival, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Jazzfestival Saalfelden, Cafe Oto, A L’ARME!, DMA Jazz – Danish Music Awards, WOMEX, and many more. Lucatelli's work has earned her several prestigious awards, including the Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen Talent Prize (2019), Pelle Prize (2021), and the Danish Music Awards' 2023 Vocal Jazz Release of the Year, which shows that vocal jazz has many faces – and does not necessarily belong only to the soft end of the spectrum.

My name is Salim Washington – would you like to see my playlist?

»What is music to me? Here’s a quote from Nietzsche: ‘The people dancing all seemed crazy to the people who couldn’t hear the music.’«

Salim Washington is a saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, academic, and activist from Detroit who has been highly active on the American jazz scene since the 1970s, and also in South Africa, where he became a central figure. The spirit of John Coltrane hovers over his music, which carries both spiritual and social dimensions.

We are DØGNKIOSK – would you like to see our playlist?

»Music for us is the perfect language that we love to speak. A language where it is the individual's feelings and imagination that determine what is right and wrong. Everyone can speak the language. You don't have to be able to write or understand, but just listen. Some music requires that you listen carefully and maybe hear it several times. A bit like when you talk to someone from Norway or Sweden, you also have to listen a little extra.«

DØGNKIOSK is a Danish punk rock band with roots in Silkeborg. The band consists of bassist and singer Anders Ejner, who has been active on the Danish underground scene for several decades. Musically, DØGNKIOSK moves in a field between classic Danish punk and alternative rock. In the spring of 2026, the band will release their second album, Tæt på kanten.
