Müntzing / Wikström / Berre is an auditory anarchy where the sound palette is expanded to the extreme. The trio unites three extremely interesting Scandinavian musicians within the electroacoustic genre. The three musicians have met in different contexts and played in different constellations for over 10 years. Here they are supplemented by Anders Filipsen on synths. This recording is from February 20, 2024 at H15 Studio.

Riris / Baars / Haugerud

Since the 70s Dutch reed player Ab Baars has lent his unique style as a tenor, clarinet and shakuhachi player to a multitude of adventurous and great projects. Tor Haugerud has been a staple of the Norwegian scene for improvised music and jazz, committing himself to a nuanced and spontaneous style of percussion.
Combining these two gentle giants in the trio format is bass player Alexander Riris. Having led and composed for larger ensembles for some years, he put together this group in 2022 to explore the naked freedom that defines the saxophone trio.
This is the first 16 minutes from the concert, which was held at H15 Scene on November 28, 2023.

Elisabeth Cordoux

Cellist Elisabeth Coudoux came from classical instrumental studies via Jazz to New Music and free improvisation in her search after new sounds and playing techniques. As a solo artist, exploring the instrument’s sound range is a constant broadening search for her own voice. This video is recorded at PRiMi on tuesday, May 21 and is excerpts from Elisabeth’s concert.

Good music with humor and poetry

Cellist Elisabeth Coudoux usually lives in Cologne, but visited Primi this Tuesday with her wonderful performance and improvisation on the cello.
She was followed by PJ Fossum on keyboards and electronics along with the amazing voice of Sarah Rossy.
Next Tuesday, Primi rounds off the spring season, but has a number of Primi-Popup's, including during the jazz festival.
Here are some photos from the wonderful Primi evening.

Energy and poetry

Where Amalie Dahl's Dafnie played energetic and expressive music that has its background in the Norwegian jazz scene in Trondhjem, Mark Solborg's Tungemål was differently poetic and intimate. Here are photos from the two magnificent concerts.

"nonotation" by Lone Aagot
This tuesday, April 16, 2024, H15 Scene was decorated with different types and shapes of paper. During the "nonotation" performance musicians would scribble things on paper, but it was never revealed to us, the audience.

"Short sets" opened the Primi-evening at E5 with the seven musicians playing short sets (!) in different constellation. After a break followed the Vilhelm Bromander Unfolding Septet with all musicians playing together. A really interesting evening. Here are some photos from the concerts.

Brutters - the brothers Frederik and Christian Wallumrød - played at PRiMi on tuesday 27, 2024. Their electonic universe was almost overwhelming, using drups, autoharp, samplers and a lot of different pedals. Here are the first 16 minutes of the concert

Enjoy! (and remember to 'like')

Photos from yesterday's concert with Borage

Borage is Megan Jowett and James Banner and we had the pleasure of listening to them tuesday, April 5. at H15 Scene.
After Borage came a very nice and plesant concert with piano and electric guitar.
And then came a presentation of a strange 'violin' shaped almost like a tinkerbell flower, and with a fantastick full and rich sound. It had 5 strings and a number of 'substrings', and was played expertly.
As a final 'string concert' a number of the players of the evening came together and played with 'strings'.
Here are some photos from the first and last concert.

Poetry and doomsday

Tuesday, February 27, started quietly and almost poetic with Kat Hernandez on violin, Hein Westgaard on acoustic guitar and Raymond Strid on drums and "things".
After their beautiful sound, "Brutter" took over with the brothers Fredrik Wallumrød on drums, drum synth and lap steel and Christian Wallumrød on drum machines, synth and autoharp. And it didn't exactly go quietly. Here are photos from the evening.

Full house!

Tuesday's extensive winter jazz program meant that a lot of people had found their way to H15 Studio and H15 Stage. There was a "Full house" both musically and in terms of the audience. Please check the program under "Previous events" (Tidligere begivenheder) here on the PRiMi page. Here are photos from four of the five concerts on Tuesday, February 20.

With a crush on Crush - and on Margaux

There are signs of spring in the air, not least in PRiMi, where the joy of playing comes out every Tuesday evening. Crush String Collective and Norwegian composer Christian Wallumrød opened the evening with "pointillistic folk music" (read the review in Salt Peanuts), and was followed by a "free jazz" quartet with Margaux Oswald on the piano.
Here are some photos from the evening - not so many this time, because we were busy recording both concerts on video.

Gorgone - Celiné and Andreas Voccia

Gorgone is exploring sonic frontiers through modular synthesis and piano fusion. It is an avantgarde musical project, realized through the artistic collaboration of Andreas Voccia and Céline Voccia, which merges a modular synthesizer and piano, channeling influences from contemporary classical music, free jazz, and the intricate symmetries observed in natural phenomena.
Now you can listen to and see two excerpts from the concert.
