Fordobling af orgel

Kirken på Blågårdsplads gamle orgel fra 1926, er et pneumatisk orgel (der blandt andet betjener sig af trykimpulser, der udsendes gennem lange, tynde rør).

Til det orgel har komponisterne Sandra Boss og Jonas Olesen, der laver elektronisk musik, lavet den utraditionelle orgelkoncert Doublet, hvor orglet forstærkes og fordobles. De to komponister udforsker orglets klanglige dybder og afkroge for at skabe en 'tilstand af lyd' i kirkerummet.

Koncerten er improviseret og udføres af de to komponister med orglet i centrum, der møder et højtaler-setup med subtilt manipulede optagelser af sig selv.

Onsdag den 5. juni, kl. 20.00
Koncertkirken, Blågårdsplads
Entré: 60 kr

Finnish Space Travel

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.
