DALLRINGAR
Söndag, 17 september, 17:00 - 18:45
Stadsparken, Lund

>>>>>> OBS!! NY SPELPLATS <<<<<<
På grund av akademiska anti-dallringar nödgas vi flytta vår exkursion till den mer
fritt vibrerande Stadsparken i Lund. Allt för mesta möjliga tremulation!
Ny mötesplats: Utanför entrén till "Hos Talevskis" i parkens västra ände.

"Anatomie af wår aldrafijnaste natur, wijsande, att wårt rörliga och lefwande wäsende består uthi Contramiscentier."

"Allt är dallringar”, skrev den världsberömde svenske vetenskapsmannen och sedermera mystiker Emanuel Swedenborg i en av sina berömda vetenskapliga artiklar under 1700-talet. Vad han avsåg var en värld som helt och fullt manifesterades genom dallringar: livet är en dallring i etern, ljuden är en dallring i luften, naturen är en dallring i materien. Helt enkelt att kosmos är, blir till och binds samman av dallringar.
En av konsekvenserna av denna tankemodell blir att världen - vår verklighet - också, rent konkret, skapas av de dallringar vi med våra liv generar.
En stycke musik är en ny bit skapelse i vardande!

Välkommen på exkursion bland sensommardallringarna i Stadsparken i Lund.
Vi möts vid entrén till Stadspaken, utanför "Hos Talevskis" i parkens västra ände, kl. 17.00 och beger oss tillsammans ut i parken för en fluktuation i tre akter:

I
Ola Paulson - "Eko, runtomkring A"

II
Jakob Riis - "Flux Daedalia. Hovedrengøring - et prosaisk renselsesritual"

III
Lotte Anker - "Sitre, glitre - late lunch in the greenhouse"

Lotte Anker är saxofonist och kompositör från Köpenhamn inom samtidsmusik: området mellan improvisation, experimentell och ny kompositionsmusik. Åtskilliga danska och internationella samarbetsprojekt och intensiv turnéaktivitet i Europa, Afrika, Nordamerika, Mellanöstern och Asien med båda egna och andras ensembler, samt ad hoc-konstellationer.

Ola Paulson. Verksam i Malmö. Musikaliskt formad i gränslandet mellan improvisation och komposition. Utbildad till komponist och saxofonist vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö. Driver dessutom Konvoj Records, och är konstnärlig ledare för Konvoj Ensemble.

Jakob Riis är en dansk/svensk laptopmusiker och kompositör av elektroakustisk musik. Improvisation är en central del av Jakob Riis syn på musik då han frammanar omöjliga ljudlandskap som noggrant utforskas tillsammans med publiken. Hans arbete och diskografi avslöjar samarbeten med ett brett spektrum av olika artister i flera format. De senara åren har et fokus varit arbetar med rumslig musik, i elektroakustiska kompositioner för högtalarorkestrar och acousmonium.

JAKOB RIIS + STEN-OLOF HELLSTRÖM

For this concert at vardagsrummet Jakob Riis will present two acts.

First out are the performance of his new composition ”Inhabitants” based on recordings of vibrations and spirits, inhabiting the surroundings of the deserted railway tracks at Lokstallarna in Malmö, and their electronic reflections.

The second part is a collaboration with electronic wizard Sten-Olof Hellström, with live analogue electronics and digital real-time processing.

Jakob Riis is a composer of electro-acoustic music, and a pioneering laptop musician, of uncompromising and sonically enhanced musical expressions. He lives and works in Malmö since 2005.

Sten-Olof Hellström's motto has always been No samples, sound files, presets or sequencers, just pure sound synthesis.
In 2013 he celebrated thirty years as a professional composer by obtaining a doctorate in composition at the University of Huddersfield, UK. After his doctorate, Sten-Olof began experimenting with field recordings, but now he has returned to his roots and builds his compositions from the smallest components of sound.

JØRGEN TELLER

Teller's work has strong roots in organized sound, musique concrète, electronic music, de-tuned guitar-rock songwriting, free-form guitar, drone / spectral music, acousmatic spatial music, jazz'n'poetry, performance and new dance.
In recent years he has focused his work as a "Nomadic composer", an expression of the fact working in many changing situations and in many different spaces in very different cities. Often in new series – every place.
In 2022-23 composing especially for acoustic and electric guitar, vocals, synths, ultra-sound / field recordings. International concerts with Static Teller, and with acousmatic sound works for loudspeaker orchestra for Ears-Sound-Scape. In addition, instant composition with Axel Dörner, Jimi Tenor & Kaptajn Ørentvist, Pierre Bastien, Oda Dyrnes and Johannes Nästesjö.

Concepts of: is a cross disciplinary meeting between electroacoustic, acousmatic, spatial music, particle physics and aerosol technology.

The ideas and material for the two new compositions presented in this concert are developed in an interactive exchange of concepts and between scientists and composers.

Accepted models of various phenomena in the respective fields of the participants, are questioned and explored through four-dimensional, electronic, acousmatic compositions, in interaction with scientific models, in an intense and nuanced experience of spatial music and sound creating new frameworks that can mutually inspire.

In this special version of the 7th edition of "Ear Sound Scape", we are proud to present three electroacoustic compositions and soundscapes, by composers from Canada, Denmark, and Sweden.

Three compositions, each with different approaches of composing for spatial sound, in both multichannel and ambisonic formats, are presented during an acousmatic consert in the 35+ loudspeaker large Acousmonium, that again this year are installed during a few weeks in april in the Red Room at Inter Arts Center, in conjunction with the Intonal festival

The world-premier of a new soundscape, "Absent Near Dawn" by the Canadian composer Darren Copeland, alongside two new works by Ear Sound Scape regulars: the premiere of "In and Out of Here" by Jørgen Teller, and a performance of "Hemmaglöd" by Jakob Riis.

Sound diffusion by Jørgen Teller and Jakob Riis

Absent Near Dawn (Dec 2021 - June 2022) 2023 - 28:17

This new composition is part of Darren Copeland’s ongoing series of soundscape pieces “The Absent Listener”. Pieces in this series are derived from continuous soundscape recordings made on a 14-acre rural residential property in Lount, which is an unincorporated township located 40 kilometres from the northwestern edge of Algonquin Park (Ontario, Canada). The property has mixed forests with a variety of Maple, White Pine, Cedar, Spruce, Tamarack and Birch trees. It borders on a lake, and a creek, and has a mixture of rocky and swampy terrain. It is also 20 KM from a highway. This distance limits the road noise audible in the soundscape to only local vehicle traffic.

The recordings are made continuously and unsupervised save for battery changes and maintenance visits every two days. The recording process is done in this way so that the presence of the recordist has as little influence as possible on the sound-making of people, animals and insects. Recordings are made with two DPA 4060 lavalier omni-directional microphones mounted in a boundary configuration that are occasionally augmented with an Aquarian Audio hydrophone and LOM geophone.

Absent Near Dawn is based on recordings that happened within one hour before or after daybreak. They are arranged in a chronological sequence of recordings every 4 to 6 weeks between December 2021 and June 2022. All of the recordings retain their original character, pitch, speed and spatial imaging. Multiple recordings are overlapped throughout the piece in order to condense and arrange them for multi-channel concert presentation.

"In and Out of Here" - a study by Jørgen Teller

A sound-piece in six parts based on spatial recordings of live actions in a circular 8-16 speaker system. Teller used soundfield microphones in a tetrahedral microphone set-up, both for recording of sound actions, and later for the final creation of the ambisonic 1st order sound-file.

The aim of this study is to spatially explore the inherent timbres of a copper-plate and the frame of a grand-piano - played with a contact microphone as the plectrum. Thus hinting at steps of dance shoes running around in and out of your skull.

A short intro features a montage of synths, palmas, tetrahedral recordings of objects and field-recordings from a visit to Cádiz 2022.

Created at EMS and Inkonst 2023.

"Hemmaglöd" - 10′44″ - by Jakob Riis

An electro-acoustic composition investigating sounds from everyday home-electronics, and sounds from other acoustic and electronic devices found in the apartment.

For this performance the 16 channels of the composition are explored through 5th order ambisonic spatialazation, rather than traditional diffusion in the large acousmonium.

Premiered at the "Glowing Electronics Festival, Östra Hoby 2022"

Darren Copeland is a Canadian sound artist who has been active since 1985 and currently lives outside of the village of South River, Ontario, Canada. His work includes projects exploring multichannel spatialization for live performance, fixed media composition, soundscape composition, radio art and sound installations. His fixed-media compositions are published by empreintes DIGITALes. Darren Copeland is the Artistic Director of New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) in South River.

Jørgen Teller has a long career as electric & acoustic guitarist, vocalist, electronic musician and performer, as well as composer of numerous eletro-acoustic, and multichannel works. He released many records solo and w. Jørgen Teller & The Empty Stairs. He also co-labed / performed w. many danish and international players

Jakob Riis is an electro-acoustic musician and composer, working extensively with loudspeaker-orchestras and multichannel compositions, as well as improvisation and electronic real-time processing of both acoustic and electronic instrumentalists. With a background as a trombone player and composer in modern and free jazz, he has since the 2000s moved towards a more experimental musical scenario developing personal, digital computer-based-, as well as analogue tools for his work on integrating electronic and acoustic musical idioms.

Lisa Stenberg is a swedish composer known to create immersive sonic spheres. Her music oscillates in the realm of instrumental and electroacoustic music, often drone-based characterised by slowly changing sustained and layered sound. Interested in perception and initiating intensified listening situations, the work of Lisa is often site-specific and presented in rare buildings and spaces with specific acoustic properties and settings.
