Mr Woofmantic is a pianist and singer dog, who lives in a videogame. His jazz-blues music tells stories of a musician dog's life, with all its troubles, and connects to the emotion of being a dog in relation to humans, other dogs, and the world. He performs live for humans via his human avatar, Horațiu Roman, and he brings together people and creatures from all universes through his events.

Mr Woofmantic Games & Jazz is a celebration of multimedia art and culture, in two parts: the games exhibition at Kildevælds Kulturcenter (free) and the concerts programme in the evening at Kildevældskirken.

Mr Woofmantic plays through Horațiu Roman as his human avatar, and in tonight's concert, he will be joined by Simone de Bovwarf on double bass (her human avatar is Marina Kalhart) and Nomi the human on keys.

About Music of the Night

The opening act is Music of the Night, an experimental Danish trio consisting of two veteran jazz musicians and an experimental sound artist. Together they shape a musical language with elements of traditional jazz, free improvisation, textural ambiences and musical drones. Though newly formed as a group, the members share a long history of collaboration in different constellations. Mads Vadsholt and Kaspar Vadsholt performed together at Music.Games—a celebration of game music at VEGA in spring 2025—while trumpeter Flemming Agerskov and Kaspar Vadsholt have been long-standing collaborators in various projects.

Mads Vadsholt has worked with sound design and composition on various animated films and games such as Miniatures, Death Howl, The Forest Quartet, Solar Walk (directed by Réka Bucsi), and Symbiosis (directed by Nadja Andrasev), among others. He has developed his own distinct sound universe, using a variety of techniques to create rich atmospheres, odd rhythms, and sensory microsounds. His composition style is minimalist and ambient, drawing comparisons to artists such as Terry Riley and Brian Eno. He works with Synthesizers, Samplers and found material.

Kaspar Vadsholt is a distinguished Danish jazz double bassist, recognized for his refined technique and deep musical sensibility. He contributes to the rhythmic foundation of the DR Big Band alongside prominent colleagues in the rhythm section. Also a member of various Danish jazz and classical projects, including artists and groups like Bentzon Brotherhood, Sinne Eeg, Peter Rosendal, Claus Waidtløw Quartet, among many others. Kaspar has been an active part of the Danish jazz scene since the early 90’s. In 2019 Kaspar Vadsholt formed his own band Nice Chair. He also composed and arranged the musical score for the critically acclaimed video game, The Forest Quartet.

Flemming Agerskov is known as one of Scandinavia’s most lyrical and melodic instrumentalists. Recognized as a trumpet player who is capable of playing with a warm sonority and always seeking his own melodic lines in the different languages of improvised music. In particular his dark and airy sound on flugelhorn is a voice which enhances meditative and spatial elements of music. Although playing jazz and improvised music, Agerskov has been associated a lot with a nordic sound approach to trumpet playing due to simplicity and transparency in his improvisations. The norwegian jazz critic Jan Granlie has compared him with british/canadian trumpet player Kenny Wheeler. He has, however, played in a broad variety of styles from freejazz and electronic groups as well as recording with many pop/rock groups. Among them the CV Jørgensen Band from 1994 – 2003.

About Mr Woofmantic

The songs of Mr Woofmantic are acoustic piano-vocal compositions inspired by his life as a dog. He is a self-taught musician and his influences range from KK Slider to Randy Newman, from Rowlf the Dog to Tom Waits and other dog and human musicians. The duo with Simone de Bovwarf has played together since 2025 in small concerts around Copenhagen and online livestreams.

The Mr Woofmantic project started in March 2024 as a cross-media collaboration between Horatiu Roman and Nomi. Its first appearance occurred within the video games project, Dog Castle, a part of Zium Exposition, a collaborative international online collaboration of artists in different media. Mr Woofmantic played a solo concert there, and the game can be played for free at theziumsociety.itch.io/the-zium-exposition while the concert has been released as a live album on Mr Woofmantic’s Bandcamp at mrwoofmantic.bandcamp.com

In 2025, the first European tour of Mr Woofmantic in the human world happened as the Awoorld Tour traveling from Berlin, with a performance opening A MAZE. / Berlin, an arthouse video games festival, to Copenhagen with a performance at Metronomen. The Berlin concert can be experienced on Mr Woofmantic’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/@mrwoofmantic
