SCENATET: tre koncerter på tre uger i tre forskellige byer

Ensemblet SCENATET tager hul på foråret med en travl koncertkalender. I løbet af tre uger skal de spille koncert ved PULSAR festivalen i København, en portrætkoncert af komponist Christian Winther Christensen under Borealis festival i Bergen og endelig en uropførelse af Object Collections New York Girls 2:Space Control i New York.

Under PULSAR festivalen vil SCENATET præsentere værker fra komponiststuderende fra Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium samt værker af komponisten Klaus Huber (f. 1924). Herudover opføres et værk af en af vinderen af komponistkonkurrencen MEETINGS, polske Piotr Peszat. Det hele skal tilsammen danne rammen om en ekstraordinær og overraskende åbningsaften på PULSAR 2015.

Til Borealis i Bergen har SCENATET arbejdet videre på et allerede etableret samarbejde med Christian Winther Christensen. Winther Christensen arbejder med ironiske og konceptuelle elementer i sin musik og inddrager citater af Beethoven, som han anser for værende indbegrebet af den klassiske komponist. Portrætkoncerten præsenterer udvalgte værker komponisten.

I marts optræder SCENATET sammen med den amerikanske kunstnerduo Object Collection med værket NEW YORK GIRLS 2: Space Control. Værket er en videreudvikling af værket NEW YORK GIRLS, som havde Danmarkspremiere på SPOR festival 2014.

»In his music, composer Allan Gravgaard Madsen tries to create a better version of himself.«

Allan Gravgaard Madsen is a Danish composer based in Copenhagen. His most recent works include Träume nicht and Nachtmusik. He tries to create a better version of himself in his music – where his personality tends to be restless, chatty and has an active inner life, his music is controlled, simple and merciless in its expression.

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.
