DA (English below):

Kresten Osgood/Lucas Dann (DK/CA):
Lucas Dann – piano
Kresten Osgood – drums

Pianisten Lucas Dann blev født i Toronto, Canada i 1997 og flyttede til Europa i 2015. Hans seneste optrædener har været en række fuldstændig improviseret solo klaverkoncerter. I det europæiske avantgarde-fællesskab omfatter Dann’s nuværende samarbejdspartnere cellisten Anssi Karttunen, pianisten Harmen Fraanje, trommeslageren Kresten Osgood samt billedkunstner, klangkunstner og komponist Goodiepal. Danns diskografi spænder fra musikken fra Thelonious Monk, original kompositioner, til fri musik med en ny live-optagelse udgivet i juli 2022 på Elastic Records med titlen “solo”. Den amerikanske pianist Brad Mehldau beskriver ham som “en blanding af Monk, Chopin og Dann”

Trommeslager, komponist og multi-instrumentalist Kresten Osgood har i godt 20 år været centralt placeret i dansk musikliv, men har også spillet med adskillige internationalt berømte musikere i mange forskellige konstellationer. Han er blevet kaldt “det bedste der er sket i dansk jazz siden 80’erne”, “Vildmanden i det danske jazzvåbenskjold” og avisoverskriften i Information: ”tendensen i dansk jazz hedder Osgood” er ikke til at tage fejl af. I al den tid har Osgood været identificeret med sin faste gruppe: “Kresten Osgood Og Hvad er Klokken”, som har gjort verden usikker med sine ekstreme koncerter, hvor alle yderpunkter er blevet afprøvet. De seneste år har Osgood desuden taget favntag med en ny kvintet, som er helt hans egen. Sammen tager de markante medlemmer af kvintetten udgangspunkt i Osgoods kompositioner i en legesyg og kreativ udforskning af jazzens væsen.


Paper Trio (US/DK):
Randi Pontoppidan – voice, live electronics
Thomas Agergaard – saxophone, flute
Greg Cohen – double bass

På med hjelmen, når de musikalske kosmonauter i Paper Trio sætter kursen mod en strato-strøm i det dybe rum. Sådan beskriver de 3, Randi Pontoppidan (stemme og elektronik), Greg Cohen (dobbelt bas) og Thomas Agergaard (saxophone og fløjte) selv musikken, når de uden grænser udforsker trioens musikalske og spirituelle fællesrum. Ved at tro på hinandens evne til at dykke med hovedet først ud i det dybe rum, er dette musikalske udsagn en direkte repræsentation af trioens natur. Alt kan ske.


Ensemble DOUDOUČI (INT):
Michaela Turcerová – alto saxophone, composition
Calum Builder – alto saxophone
Michał Bieł – baritone saxophone
Margaux Oswald – piano
Gintė Preisaitė – piano
Rafał Różalski – double bass
Francesco Toninelli – objects
Simon Forchhammer – drums

Det internationale ensemble DOUDOUČI er bestående af unge musikkere bosat i Danmark og ledet af slovakken, saxophonespilleren og komponisten Michaela Turcerová. DOUDOUČI er inspireret af nutidig musik for slagtøj, minimalistisk og free jazz´s energi. Det er også bestemt af relativt åbne partiturer, der ofte cirkulerer omkring cykliske og varige begivenheder med en trance-lignende meditativ kvalitet, med fokus på kollektiv lyd. Resultatet er et flerlags sonicscape, der repræsenterer et ikke-hierarkisk partnerskab. DOUDOUČI har udgivet sin første eponyme EP i november 2022 på CRRNT Records.


TICKETS a 120 DKK / Stud. 60 DKK in the door from 19.30.

Paper Trio (US/DK)
Randi Pontoppidan – voice, live electronics
Thomas Agergaard – saxophone, flute
Greg Cohen – double bass

Papertrio has put on their crash helmets, and set their course for a strato-stream in deep space. The three cosmonauts Pontoppidan, Cohen and Agergaard are explorers. Looking for rooms where they feel free to go in all musical directions and where there is no limit. They bring the audience on a journey in the universe of music and the spiritual space. Believing in the others ability to dive head first into deep space this musical statement is a true and direct representation of the nature of the trio. Everything can happen.
Greg Cohen is one of the world’s most sought after bass players, collaborating with everyone from Woody Allen, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson to Laurie Anderson, John Zorn, and Brian Eno. He has also worked as an arranger, producer, musical director and composer for the theatre, film, television and recording studios.
Randi Pontoppidan is an internationally acclaimed artist, improviser and composer. Known for her extended vocal techniques, often mixed with live electronic processing. She has been likened to Diamanda Galás and Maja S. K. Ratkje. Pontoppidan works with jazz luminaries including Joëlle Léandre, Sissel Vera Pettersen and Peter Bruun and are members of Damkapellet and the vocal ensemble IKI.

Thomas Agergaard saxophonist and composer, known for many interdisciplinary projects ranging from astrophysicists, adventurers, sound installations, house artist at Christiansborg, collaboration with a large numbers of international musicians including Django Bates, Andrew Hill, Marilyn Mazur, Nils Peter Molvær and Lars Jansson.
