Welcome to an evening of improvisation with Jakob Riis and Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir.


Friday, Nov. 8, 20:00h
Gallery 21
Rådmansgatan 5, Malmö


In this premiere concert showcasing a new collaboration between Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir and Jakob Riis, listeners will experience electro-acoustic music in a quadrophonic setup. The duo will unveil their newly developed, unique approach to an expansive exploration of the violin's sonic nature and capabilities. They push the boundaries of acoustic and electronic musical collaboration in an improvised setting, featuring interactive sonic processes that analyse and manipulate the performance. The result is exploratory music with an ambient and evocative character.

BLUNDAR17 release; Live performance by Jørgen Teller & Jakob Riis at Proton Records, Griffenfeldsgade 50, Copenhagen. 20th Septemeber 2024 kl 17:00

https://blundar.bandcamp.com/album/blundar17

Perhaps best described as a pioneer of the underground experimental scene, the signature of Jørgen Teller on the musical landscape of Denmark traces back to the late 1970’s. Sprung out of a whirlpool of post-punk and art school ideas, Teller has relentlessly been chiseling away on the constrictions of music in various bands, collaborations and solo projects ever since. Searching out its farthest outposts - be it free jazz, noise or acousmatic music - Teller has strived towards an approach to music without rules, often by way of improvisation and usually with the aid of electric guitar.

This album is based on a live performance held at the Inter Arts Center in Malmö in early 2022, where Teller performed a semi-improvised piece in homage to the poet Poul Borum, whom he had worked with in the mid-90’s closely before Borum’s death in 1996.

As a composer, Teller relies on a set of “basic choices” that becomes a “precise point of departure” - where he can then go against his “good knowing” of the science, trends and different schools of music and go straight into his own instincts as a performer. For this performance, he used pre- recorded material of three rhythm boxes (all out of sync), timbales and sessions on Erica synths.

In dialogue with the label, Teller has focused on extracting the recording of the rhythm boxes and timbales alone, emphasizing the tension between the rhythms. With minimalist drum sequences that could easily be placed in a proto-techno context, and the whooshing of what might be an ancient rhombus instrument, there is a feeling of a primitive presence to Teller’s rhythmic excursions. A throwback to the spiritual realms of a wordless society fighting the demons of chance.

Occasionally pierced by stark industrial drum crashes and rattling post-punk percussion, it also conjures echoes from the darker side of the 1980s. In citing Borum as its inspiration, Teller shares that he channels the poet’s energy and their shared love of “noisy stuff and darkness”. But the pace can also go somewhere close to breakbeat on track B2, where a whirlwind of rhythmic elements clash into a deranged deconstructed club tune.

The album also features a remix by a fellow colleague of the acousmatic community; the composer Jacob Riis. On the closing track B3, Riis quietly manipulates and balances the elements of Teller’s recordings and gently releases them into a contemplative pool of static.

DÅNTUB2024/6/18


DÅNTUB
Tisdag, 18 juni, 19:00 - 20:15
Stadsparken, Lund


Välkommen till en kväll utöver det vanliga i Lunds stadspark! No Music och Konvoj Art presenterar stolt sin andra konsert i en pågående serie som hyllar Lunds genier och galningar. Denna gång lyfter vi fram Christopher Polhem och hans revolutionerande uppfinning, dåntuben.

Följ med på en fridykning i Polhems tankedjup – en audiovisuell upplevelse som kanske (bara kanske) kommer att få dig att se Lund med nya ögon. Låt dig svepas med av en poetisk och abstrakt hyllning till en av stadens mest briljanta sinnen och en extraordinär skapelse. Missa inte chansen att upptäcka Lund på ett nytt sätt – en vardagskväll ryckt ur sin sömn, yrvaket uppstånden till galenskap och musikalisk (?) magi.

P.S. En dåntub är en akustisk transduktionsmekanism, konstruerad som en lång, resonant cylinder av lignosfäriskt material, designad för att modulera och propagandera soniska vågformer genom ett vattenmedium. Genom att utnyttja mediumets kvasi-elastiska egenskaper och de longitudinella vågornas reflektionsegenskaper möjliggör dåntuben interakustisk kommunikation över subakvatiska distanser. En extraordinär uppfinning. Av logistiska skäl kommer dock ingen dåntub att finnas på plats i stadsparken. Producerad av Konvoj Art och No Music, med stöd av Lunds Kommun.

Vi möts vid entrén till Stadsparken, utanför "Mejeriet" på hörnet av Stora Södergatan och Gyllenkroks allé, kl. 19.00 och beger oss tillsammans ut i parken för en fluktuation i två akter:

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: Inhabitants / INTONAL 20242024/4/27

Saturday, 27th April, 18:30

Inter Arts Center
Red Room, 4th floor
Bergsgatan 29, Malmö

Free entrance

A concert featuring two compositions: “Inhabitants” by Jakob Riis and “Sky” by Lise-Lotte Norelius. Both pieces delve into the concept of exploring hidden or overlooked aspects of our environment through sound.

Inhabitants is a 30-minute composition created in 2023. It revolves around the idea of capturing the vibrations and spiritual essence of the surroundings near abandoned railway tracks at the former railway workshop ‘Lokstallarna’ in Malmö. The composition utilizes a multichannel approach, blending field recordings and geophone recordings (instruments that detect ground movement) with electronically synthesized sounds. The intention is to immerse the audience in an auditory journey that reflects the unseen life and energy present in the neglected urban landscape.

Sky is a 12 minute and 39-second composition from 2015. It is constructed from sound material generated through image-to-audio conversion, from an image of the sky. Sonification, where visual data is translated into auditory signals. By sonifying the sky, Norelius offers listeners a unique perspective on the atmospheric phenomena.

Both works presented in this concert share a thematic focus on revealing the hidden or overlooked elements of our surroundings, whether it be the forgotten spirits lingering around old railway tracks or the ethereal qualities of the sky translated into sound.
