Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard is currently working on the artistic research project ‘Music For The Inner Ear’ at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory.
”We all know the feeling of having a song stuck in your head. Everybody can imagine music, everybody can hear music for the inner ear. I want to make the kind of music that emerges in that encounter with the listener, and where the listener in a way becomes the composer. The ultimate involvement of the audience,” Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard explains about the project.
At the Danish Science Festival 26 April, a number of Løkkegaards imaginary works will be performed, including the world premiere of 'Transfer of Value’. This performance so to speak takes the consequences of the ultimate audience involvement: copyrights are dissolved and split among the audience. If you take part in the process of imagining the work you will get receive a payment from KODA (Assuming that you are a registered KODA member.)
Last fall Løkkegaard presented The Curatorium 2017 as a part of the research project Music for the inner ear, a so-called curatorial non-event. He described The Curatorium as a story about a sound-festival that never takes place and features imaginary works by Danish and International composers/soundartists. Included in the festival programme where Edition·S composers Simon Steen-Andersen and Jeppe Just Christensen.
