KRISTIAN HVERRING - Acoustic objects, Geofóns & electronic appliances w/ special guest: Lisbeth Sonne (vocals)

GHOST FLUTE & DICE - grand piano, electronics, motors, surroundsystem

Doors open 19:30

What does a grand piano inside a watertower sound like? Is it possible to fuse music and architecture into one artistic gesture? Is it possible to control the watertowers 40 second reverberation? Find out on the 12th of August when KRISTIAN HVERRING and GHOST FLUTE & DICE fill the giant Brønshøj Vandtårn with their electro-acoustic music. Kristian Hverring is a prolific sounddesigner and composer working mostly with performance art and installations, so this concert will be a unique opportunity to hear his music presented in a solo setting. Ghost Flute & Dice (Mikkel Almholt) composed the piece SKALA specifically for Brønshøj Vandtårn and will be playing it in its entirety.

KRISTIAN HVERRING

Addressing the elephant in the room. A physical exploration of the extraordinary acoustics of the water tower. Slow, repeating musical patterns actuate 40 seconds of reverberation time. Building into seismic trance inducing vibrations. Kristian Hverring is a composer, musician and sound artist. Latest release ‘fields & waves’ - music made with electromagnetic fields.

GHOST FLUTE & DICE

Ghost Flute & Dice is an electro-acoustic piano project by musician/composer Mikkel Almholt. It started of with putting a single delay effect on the piano but has since evolved into all kinds of electronic warping of acoustic sounds resulting in multi-layered noisy piano-soundscapes. The music presented this evening is a single 40-minute piece composed especially for Brønshøj Vandtårn and a 6-channel surround sound system.

THE WATERTOWER

Brønshøj Watertower is a very unique venue. Built back in the 1930s it was a magnificent feat of engineering because it was built entirely with a new revolutionary material - concrete. Now the enormous circle-round structure is sought out by musicians from all genres for its perfect cathedral-like acoustics. It is as if the building suspends every sound in mid-air and holds it for 40 seconds - and it works equally well for everything from tiny acoustic sounds to giant electronic tornadoes.

Presented in cooperation with Kulturhuset Pilegården, DMF and Piano Days Copenhagen.
