Description
The Goldberg Variation (Bach Clock)
We are excited about organizing and inviting you to the first ever full durational live performance of swedish composer Jesper Norda's piece The Goldberg Variation (Bach Clock) - for one, two or more pianists, 2012.
While the piece have been existing in different phases and medias, we now seek to bring the full and minimalistic yet comprehensive experience together - we seek to explore the whole exhausting duration of the live piece, allowing time to wash over our bodies and the listening experience.
As audience you will greeted with a listening-calibration score before entering the space of the performance. We will arrange different means for you to be in the space (by laying down, sitting, standing..) and we hope this will allow you to listen in the manner suitable for you.
About the work, Norda writes himself:The Goldberg Variation (Bach Clock)- for one, two or more pianists (2012) is based on Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg variations. But whereas Bach’s version takes around 30 minutes to play from beginning to end, this version is stretched to 12 hours and 25 minutes. Each note in the original score is struck at even intervals, every two seconds. The rythm is evened out, the dynamics are flattened: every sense of musical direction is gone. What remains is a solemn enumeration of all the tones that make up the original piece – a kind of clockwork.
/ Jesper Norda, 2016.
Practical note:
- we will serve simple food and drinks (making it possible to stay for the full duration) (as part of the ticket)
- bring warm cloth (we will have some blankets, but not too many...

Listening Seminar
To explore further the aftermath of the performance; its slowness, potential listening practices, and ideas of musicality, we are together with Sound Studies Lab (University of Copenhagen) and Art Music Denmark hosting a 'panel discussion'/'Listening Seminar' on the same location the following monday, 9th of October at 2pm to 4pm. Jesper Norda, Carolyn F. Strauss (Slow Research Lab, Amsterdam), and prof. Holger Schulze (Sound Studies Lab) will at the seminar dwell into each other experiences and perspectives and bring new wonderings forth to the audience, who will be able to share back thoughts and pose questions.
The Listening Seminar will be for free, and experiencing the full performance will not be needed for participating in the seminar.
