Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement – Ekkoer fra junglens dyb

Feature November 25 2017, af emilgrarup news-15-01-prurient

Af Emil Grarup og Morten Østergaard Rasmussen Naturens besnærende uigennemskuelighed Den britiske filosof Timothy Morton beskæftiger sig i sin bog “Dark Ecology” fra 2016 indgående med begrebet ‘mørk økologi’, et begreb, han selv har udviklet i et tidligere værk. ‘Mørk økologi’ kan lettest forstås som et modparadigme til, hvad han kalder ‘agrilogistikken’. Agrilogistikken er en ældgammel naturkonception, der insisterer på naturen som noget, mennesket kan ...

Dedekind Cut – Ruly ambiance (live report)

November 22 2017, af passive/aggressive IMG_20171108_182305_986

Review by Ivna Franic, Dedekind Cut @ Mayhem, 8.11.2017. With one of 2016’s finest albums, an excellent recent EP, two great mixtapes and a record deal with Kranky under his belt, Dedekind Cut was easily one of the most significant names to have played in Copenhagen this concert season. A packed venue on a regular weekday testified to that, the fixed up Mayhem also proving ...

Tobias Sejersdahl – Ambient på tværs af tusind plateauer (interview & premiere)

November 18 2017, af Alexander Julin Screen Shot 2017-07-03 at 21.25.34

Af Alexander Julin Den Aarhus-baserede musiker Tobias Sejersdahl startede som barn med at slå på køkkenredskaber for derefter at blive en rock-entusiast. På sin debut er det imidlertid et helt andet musikalsk felt, Sejersdahl bevæger sig i og udforsker. Albummet “Melile” udkommer i dag på aarhusianske Resonans og vækker på flere måder associationer til bl.a. Tim Heckers kompositioner. Albummet, der er indspillet på modular-synth og klarinet, er et hypnotisk og ...

Aaron Dilloway – Residential tape experiments (premiere)

Blog November 15 2017, af passive/aggressive 22053817628-44064287f2-k_page_image

By Simon Christensen I can’t remember a time in Copenhagen with the music scene being as diverse and inspiring as this. Not only are there plenty of interesting local artists, but the number of great musicians and pioneers who have been visiting, recording or setup new projects in Copenhagen in recent years is at an all time high. I am not only talking about ...

Roaring Abstraction – An Introduction To Basil Kirchin

Feature November 10 2017, af mikkelarre basil-kirchin

By Jim Slade Impossible to categorize or pigeonhole, Basil Kirchin (1927-2005), the elusive polymath of Britain’s musical history, left a rich legacy of melodic titbits that branches out across genre and context. Motivated by the recently released ”Basil Kirchin Is My Friend” record and following a spate of concerts, radio programmes and articles, there is new found attention garnering on this British composer. Who ...

Hector Rottweiler (Jonas Olesen) – Unpredictable folds and aleatoric instability

Kritik November 4 2017, af passive/aggressive A-1262489-1281043239.jpeg

Hector Rottweiler “Infrastruktur” (BIN, 2017) – reviewed by Javier Orozco. Jonas Olesen is the musical mind behind a series of projects (BIN, Batch Totem, IR, OOC) that gradually positioned him as a discreet underground noise pioneer in Denmark, known especially for his work with modified instruments and an archaeological approach to sound art. For the Infrastruktur EP he resuscitated his Hector Rottweiler alias; a nod to ...

Värmland-forsamlingen af 2016 – Fra det nære til det åbne landskabsbillede

Feature October 30 2017, af emilgrarup IMG_1875

Af Emil Grarup I september udkom andet album fra gruppen med det elaborerede navn, Värmland-forsamlingen af 2016. Titlen er “Festival”, og albummet er en opfølger til deres selvbetitlede debutalbum fra foråret. ‘Värmland’ udgøres af en konstellation af de, i min optik, mest originale og kompromisløse musikere i Danmark lige nu: Asger Hartvig (Synd og Skam, Brynje, Watermark, MC Boli etc.), Jonathan Carstensen (First Flush, Watermark, ...
