The Young Immigrants er et ensemble med en kernegruppe på seks banebrydende musikere fra hele Europa. Med påvirkninger fra hiphop, jazz, psykedelisk rock og klassisk bliver ensemblets musik en æstetisk syntese, hvor levende, dagdrømmende soundtracks og minimalistiske strukturer møder obskure lydlandskaber og lejlighedsvis intuitive udbrud af intensitet.
Narrativet og intentionen af ensemblets musik er en tvetydig reflektion over nutidens verden og den menneskelige eksistens, og er et forsøg på at fremprovokere tanker, billeder og åbne op for en bredere forståelse af (ko)eksistens.
Gennem tre ensemblets tre-årige eksistens har de samarbejdet med flere globale kunstnere, spiller på festivals, koncerter og skabt live soundtracks til film. i 2022 udgav The Young Immigrants deres debut album Head Borders.

Hein Westgaard – guitar
Alex Ventling – prepared piano

Indspillet over to dage i det altid så flade Danmark, afspejler det frit improviserede duoalbum en lyrik og ro, måske grundet en fælles længsel til bjergene, hvor Westgaard er norsk, og Ventling bærer på en følelse af hjem til både Schweiz og New Zealand. Lydene fra guitaren og flygel blander sig problemfrit for at skabe en enkelt lydkilde, eller rettere flere kilder af ubestemt oprindelse. Naturlige landskaber, vidtstrakte atmosfærer og undersøgelser i de mindste detaljer skaber lydpalleten. Fra minimalistiske lydlandskaber til dynamiske soniske fortællinger, ‘In Orbit’ indkapsler den impulsive eventyrlyst, som åben improvisation kræver.

TYI is a group founded by Lithuanian bassist Aurelijus Užameckis, joined by cutting-edge international musicians: trumpetist Erik Kimestad Pedersen, saxophonist Jon Sensmeier, bass
clarinettist Marcus Warnheim, percussionist Irene Bianco and drummer Halym Kim.
Their music is a modern manifestation of genre blending and multiculturality. With elements of hip-hop, free jazz, psychedelic rock and folk, the music of the ensemble becomes a synthesis
where vivid daydreaming soundtracks and minimalistic melodies meet energetic outbursts and embodied rhythms. This synthesis, enforced by ensemble’s voices and improvisations, guides through the narratives in the music.
The narrative and intention of the ensemble’s music is an ambiguous reflection on today’s world and present human experiences. To evoke thoughts, imagery and to open up to a broader understanding of (co)existence.
During three years of the ensemble’s existence, they had collaborations with several global artists, played in festivals, concerts and created live soundtracks for movies. In 2022The Young Immigrants released their debut album Head Borders.

Hein Westgaard – guitar
Alex Ventling – prepared piano

Recorded over two days in the ever so flat Denmark, the freely improvised duo album reflects a lyricism and tranquility perhaps owing a shared longing to the mountains, with Westgaard being Norwegian, and Ventling carrying a sense of home in both Switzerland and New Zealand. The sounds of the guitar and prepared grand-piano seamlessly blend as to create a single sound source, or rather multiple sources of uncertain origin. Natural sceneries, expansive atmospheres and investigations into the smallest details create the listening pallet. From minimalistic soundscapes to dynamic sonic narratives, ‘In Orbit’ encapsulates the spur-of-the-moment adventurousness that open ended improvisation calls for.
