Af William Kudahl Misunderstood and disillusioned, I go on describing this place and the way it feels to live and die Hvert år på denne tid, når efterårets klare kølighed hænger sig fast i luften, begynder disse linjer at sive ind i mig. Det sker i takt med, at bladene skifter farve, dør ud og lægger sig på jorden i naturens egen cyklus. Dér hænger de fast, ...

Festival of Endless Gratitude 2017, Sydhavnsgade, September 29-October 1. Reportage by Javier Orozco – photos by Stefan Thorndahl, videos by Morten Sichlau Bruun. The chant of ‘Gabestok! Gabestok!’ pervaded the air anticipating the Copenhagen-duo’s ground level performance. As soon as their sonic assault was unleashed, the choir became all fists and mosh pit.

Af Alexander Julin – photos by Daniel Hjorth. Den 12. udgave af den odenseanske festival Phono finder sted d. 12.-14. oktober. Festivalen har på mange måder været et dansk pioner-eksempel, hvordan man præsenterer og samler et program af aktuelle, elektroniske musikere uden at koncentrere sig om en specifik del af det stilistiske spektrum. Dette års festival favner ligeledes utrolig bredt, med alt ...

Interview by Simon Christensen. The recent solo efforts mark “the end of the beginning” for musician and improvisor Greg Fox. Although still partly recognized as a metal drummer from the hard-hitting band Liturgy, he is influenced even more so by free jazz, computers and sound itself. Greg Fox has been involved in an exciting series of projects ranging from electronic music with Hieroglyphic Being ...

Af Mads Kjeldgaard – foto: Editions Mego For at være helt ærlig havde jeg aldrig hørt om den hollandske komponist Jaap Vink før. Jeg faldt kun over ham, fordi han pludselig indgik i østrigske Editions Megos ambitiøse og helt igennem fænomenale genudgivelsesserie REGRM.
