🗓️ 26. februar 2025

📍 H15 Studio, København

Don’t Look Back inviterer til en aften med eksperimenterende musik, kollektiv kreativitet og intime lydlandskaber som en del af Vinterjazz 2025. Programmet byder på alt fra elektroniske live-sets til et eksklusivt listening party og et fællesskabsorienteret DJ-set.

🎧 Listening Party:

Mads Emil Dreyer & Sistro Duo – Figure Pieces

Figure Pieces er et 20-minutters værk af komponist Mads Emil Dreyer, bestilt og opført af Sistro Duo (Katerina Anagnostidou & Marta Soggetti). Værket består af otte korte satser for metal- og træslaginstrumenter såsom syngeskåle, chimes, klokker, xylofon og sinustone-keyboards.

Dette listening party giver dig den allerførste mulighed for at opleve Figure Pieces i sin helhed to uger før det udkommer som EP d. 14. marts.

🎶 Live sets:

- Frigga Borup – Frigga er fascineret af omsorg som mekanisme og udforsker i dette værk både omsorg og manglen på samme. Med synthesizer, samples, stemme og teksturer undersøger hun, hvordan omsorg opfattes og mærkes, både kropsligt og mentalt.

- Fei Nie – I sin audiovisuelle performance Sunshine reflekterer Fei over sin identitet uden sit klaver, der har været en central del af hendes selvopfattelse. Værket er en poetisk rejse om at redefinere sig selv og finde nye måder at udtrykke sin historie på.

- Neli Pantsulaia – Neli præsenterer en intens performance, der sammensætter industrielle lydlandskaber og eksperimentelle teksturer. Hendes værk udforsker menneskelig perception og vækker autenticitet, nostalgi og konceptuelle former gennem en rå og immersiv oplevelse.

- Xavier Bonfill & Mikael Tobias – I deres første samarbejde forener Xavier Bonfill og Mikael Tobias deres unikke musikalske tilgange i et techno-adjacent live set, der smelter ambient og industrielle teksturer sammen i et dynamisk lydunivers.

- BESS – Med sit avant-pop alter ego Virginia Supreme forener BESS feministiske tekster med synth-drevne beats i en performance, hvor alt kan ske. Virginia Supreme, der udkom i 2024 på Don’t Look Back Records, er et univers, hvor bløde, udfordrende performative tricks lirker ved patriarkalske normer og inviterer publikum ind i et grænseløst, sonisk rum.

🎶 Live sets:

- Frigga Borup – Frigga is fascinated by care as a mechanism and explores both its presence and absence in this work. Using synthesizer, samples, voice, and textures, she examines how care is perceived and felt, both physically and mentally.
