Mabe Fratti (Hotel Cecil, 27. oktober 2024) – koncertanmeldelse af Martin Funder. Foto: Melissa Lunar Mabe Fratti var et at de navne, der gjorde det rigtig svært for mig ikke at have en billet til årets Roskilde Festival. Heldigvis er den guatemalanske musiker yderst aktiv, og forrige søndag på Hotel Cecil var det igen muligt at høre Mabe Fratti live. Sentir ...

Photos: Niclas Hawkesworth & FOEG Festival of Endless Gratitude, 3.-5.10.2024., Kildevæld Kulturcenter The Festival of Endless Gratitude (FOEG) doesn’t give a fuck. It opens with a lecture on an organ tone archive, followed by performances of WWII partisan resistance songs. It books a spoken-word performance of a fable in Italian. It takes a collective dinner break in the middle of the ...

Foto: Flemming Bo Jensen Live review by Ivna Franic Much like the 2023 program, this year’s Strøm Festival balanced between two extremes: the party – as expected of an electronic music festival, and the meditation. On the one hand, the festival featured its now-traditional metro party Trans-Metro Express as well as several other club music events, while on the other it presented events ...

Valentina Magaletti. Photo: Manuel Berger By Macon Holt As a committed non-camper, I arrived at Roskilde 2024, my first time at the festival, on Thursday afternoon. It had been a long time since I had been such a festival. When I camped at Glastonbury in 2011, I sort of felt I had reached the peak of excitement and discomfort such festivals had to offer, so ...

Politisk og hårdtslående elektronisk musik. Marokkansk punk. Kommercielle pop- og rap-artister. Støjrock møder trap. Eskapistisk klubmusik. Hyperpop. Eksperimenterende undersøgelser i spændingsfeltet mellem kompositionsmusik, jazz, folk og meget andet. Roskilde har lidt af det hele – medmindre man altså spørger den obligatoriske horde af primært mænd på sociale medier, der hvert år klager over, at Roskilde er en anden festival i dag, end den var engang, ...

William Basinski, Copenhagen Distillery d. 19. oktober – koncertanmeldelse af Mathias Schønberg. Billeder af Rene Passet. Der var stor tilfredshed at spore blandt det stort fremmødte publikum på Distillery, da Alice arrangerede koncert med William Basinski og opvarmningskoncert af Franciska. Basinskis melankolske forsvindingsmotiver resonnerer stadig rent med det nordiske sind, men afslørede kunstnerens påfaldende utilsvarende rockstjerneattitude en sprække i motivet? Alice formår virkelig ...

Intonal Festival, 26th–30th of April, Malmö. Review by Ivna Franic, Photos by Camilla Rehnstrand Malmö’s Intonal Festival has made it a part of its image to present lineups that don’t necessarily fit the usual European festival mold. At first glance, the festival’s 2023 program gave the impression that the curators were either extremely daring or knew their audience very well. Or, who ...
