Grænserne mellem skulpturel lydkunst, performance art og eksperimenterende musik opløses, når de to komponister, svenske Amina Hocine og lokale Barbara Skovmand, omlægger Basements rå omgivelser til en totaloplevelse, hvor ny elektronisk musik sætter soundtrack til et forløb, hvor oldtidens orgelpiber indgår i samspil med dystopisk science fiction.

Amina Hocine (SE)
Svensk komponist, lydkunstner og instrumentbygger baseret i Stockholm, hvor hun studerer elektroakustisk komposition på Kungliga Musikhögskolan. Hendes praksis bevæger sig i spændingsfeltet mellem akusmatisk musik, notation og fysisk lydproduktion, med en særlig interesse for langstrakte kompositioner, minimale harmoniske bevægelser og statiske rytmiske forløb.

Centralt i Hocines arbejde står et selvbygget orgel konstrueret af PVC-rør og komponenter fra ventilationssystemer, drevet af komprimeret luft. Instrumentet, inspireret af tågehorn og sirener, producerer intense droner og komplekse frekvenslag, som hun selv beskriver som “lydkrystaller”. Med dette udgangspunkt udforsker hun lydens psykoakustiske potentiale og dens evne til at påvirke perception afhængigt af rum og sted – hver koncert tager udgangspunkt i unikke rumlige installationer, hvor orgelpibernes vibrationer taler sammen med rummets akustik.

Hocines kompositioner kredser om klang, resonans og inviterer til introspektion og dyb lytning. Med inspiration fra spirituel videnskab og praksis samt terapeutiske processer arbejder hun med lyd som et transformerende og helbredende redskab. Hendes værker udfolder sig ofte som rumlige, næsten rituelle ceremonier, hvor lyd optræder som et levende, kommunikativt element.

Med rumlige opstillinger, hvor lyd erstatter sprog, udvikler hendes koncerter sig som en form for ordløs teaterstruktur. Her bliver frekvenser og resonanser bærere af spændinger, tilstande og indre bevægelser og inviterer lytteren ind i et sanseligt og kontemplativt rum.

Barbara Skovmand (DK)
København-baseret billedkunstner og musiker, der arbejder i feltet mellem lyd, skulptur og performance. Hendes praksis tager udgangspunkt i en eksperimenterende tilgang til materialer og form, hvor hun udvikler egne instrumenter i form af klangskulpturer, som aktiveres i rumlige og udvidede koncertformater.

Centralt i Skovmands arbejde står hendes après-Baschet-lydskulpturer – akustiske instrumenter, der viderefører arven fra de franske Baschet-brødre. Skulpturerne frembringer lyd gennem friktion, når vandvåde fingre føres over glasstænger, hvis vibrationer forplantes til spejlpolerede ståloverflader. Her forstærkes og forvrænges lyden til komplekse, fremmedartede klangfelter, der opleves både auditivt og kropsligt.

Hendes værker tager form gennem et håndværksbaseret arbejde i metal, hvor rør, stænger og plader formes med håndkraft til organiske, næsten levende strukturer. Inspirationen trækker både på det biologiske og det mytologiske – fra planktoniske livsformer til englelignende figurer – og manifesterer sig i skulpturer, der balancerer mellem det tekniske og det sanselige med et visuelt udtryk, som er lige så organisk og menneskeligt, som det er rendyrket science fiction.

Skovmands praksis kredser om resonans og relationen mellem krop, lyd og rum. Hendes performances iscenesættes ofte i arkitektonisk markante omgivelser, hvor lydens bevægelse og rummets akustik indgår som aktive medspillere. Her udfolder hendes værker sig som immersive situationer, hvor grænsen mellem instrument, skulptur og koncert opløses.

Gennem sit arbejde undersøger hun forbindelser mellem menneske, natur og teknologi med en særlig opmærksomhed på det, der ligger uden for det umiddelbart forståelige. Hendes klangskulpturer fungerer som både lydkilder og visuelle objekter – og åbner for en erfaring af lyd som noget fysisk, formbart og levende.

The boundaries between sculptural sound art, performance art, and experimental music dissolve as the two composers, Swedish Amina Hocine and local Barbara Skovmand, transform Basement’s raw surroundings into a total experience, where new electronic music forms the soundtrack to a performance in which ancient organ pipes interact with dystopian science fiction.

Amina Hocine (SE)
Swedish composer, sound artist, and instrument builder based in Stockholm, where she studies electroacoustic composition at the Royal College of Music. Her practice moves within the tension field between acousmatic music, notation, and physical sound production, with a particular focus on long-form compositions, minimal harmonic movement, and static rhythmic gestures.

At the core of Hocine’s work is a self-built organ constructed from PVC pipes and HVAC components, powered by compressed air. Inspired by foghorns and sirens, the instrument produces intense drones and complex layers of frequency, which she describes as “sound crystals.” From this starting point, she explores the psychoacoustic potential of sound and its ability to shape perception depending on space and context – each performance unfolds as a unique spatial installation, where the vibrations of the pipes interact with the acoustics of the room.

Hocine’s compositions revolve around timbre and resonance, inviting introspection and deep listening. Drawing on spiritual science, practices, and therapeutic processes, she approaches sound as a transformative and healing medium. Her works often unfold as spatial, almost ritualistic ceremonies, where sound appears as a living, communicative presence.

Through spatial configurations in which sound replaces language, her concerts develop into a form of wordless theatre. Here, frequencies and resonances carry tensions, states, and inner movements, inviting the listener into a sensory and contemplative space.
https://aminahocine.bandcamp.com/album/tam-n

Barbara Skovmand (DK)
Copenhagen-based visual artist and musician working at the intersection of sound, sculpture, and performance. Her practice is rooted in an experimental approach to materials and form, developing her own instruments as sound sculptures that are activated in spatial and expanded concert formats.

Central to Skovmand’s work are her après-Baschet sound sculptures – acoustic instruments that extend the legacy of the French Baschet brothers. The sculptures generate sound through friction, as wet fingers are drawn across glass rods, sending vibrations into mirror-polished steel surfaces. Here, the sound is amplified and distorted into complex, otherworldly sonic fields that are experienced both aurally and physically.

Her works take shape through a craft-based approach to metal, where pipes, rods, and plates are formed by hand into organic, almost living structures. Drawing on both biological and mythological references, from planktonic life forms to angelic figures, her sculptures balance the technical and the sensuous, with a visual language that is as organic and human as it is distinctly science fiction.

Skovmand’s practice centers on resonance and the relationship between body, sound, and space. Her performances are often staged in architecturally distinct environments, where the movement of sound and the acoustics of the space become active collaborators. In these settings, her works unfold as immersive situations in which the boundaries between instrument, sculpture, and concert dissolve.

Through her work, she explores connections between humans, nature, and technology, with a particular sensitivity to what lies beyond immediate understanding. Her sound sculptures function as both sonic sources and visual objects, opening up an experience of sound as something physical, malleable, and alive.
