K!ART premieres a preliminary version of Mads Emil Dreyer's new work, Chimera, which he describes:
"Chimera pt. 1 is a small piece for three musicians who play kalimba, violin and two small guitars. Contact microphones and surface transducers are put on all the instruments. The contact microphones pick up the acoustic sound, which is then sent out through the transducers. Each instrument thus becomes its own little feedback loop. The result is a form of discrete sonorous double exposure, where you hear the instrument and its own shadow superimposed."
Jexper Holmen explains about his new work: I wrote Right now I'm glad I'm not you on commission from the ensemble K!ART as a completely irrational act, and the piece is most easily described by what it does not consist of: There are no transitions, intermediate calculations, mediations or coherence in a conceptual sense.
Of course there are things that are repeated (e.g. the same series of chords in the guitar and the same sliding melody in the cello and clarinet), but each element is there solely for its own sake, and the piece is connected on a level that has nothing to do with material. What is vital to one person is terrible to another."
The concert takes place on Sunday 10 December in Koncertkirken, Copenhagen. Find more information here.
