Do you hear this picture¿
LIVE PERFORMANCE
You are invited to visit the Apdikt, behind the Bridderhaus, 1 Rue Léon Metz, 4238 Esch-sur-Alzette, to experience this live show on Thursday from 16:00-19:00 and on Friday from 10:00-12:00. Free entry.
If you are into fragmented sounds, unfinished pieces of music, musicians tuning their instruments, adapting their style to a room (tone), preparing themselves to face another audience , sometimes nervous and tense or excited, funny or drunk, playful and highly concentrated, who are all great artists, and you consider sound checks themselves musical works…
Then you are going to love: Gavois Klöfkorn‘s presentation of a musical radio piece made from soundchecks; an intimate glance behind the scenes, another angle on music-making and concerts from over 70 soundchecks by bands, ensembles, musicians, artists, and composers.
Making use of the microphones like others would use video cameras; Gavois and Klöfkorn carefully choose what to record, and time when and how they change the angles and physical perspectives of their recordings. Picking up details like fingers drumming on the keyboard of an organ, or the sound of a pick flicking across the strings of an un-plugged electric guitar, seagulls attacking trombones, and other ambient sounds merging and complimenting the acoustic environment beyond the instruments and musicians.
The recordings were made at more than 70 soundchecks by bands of all kind, in venues from; open air festivals, pedestrian tunnels, boats, punk clubs and concert halls. Across Europe in D, B, NL, SE.
