Den lille dør - Musik til Nordjylland
Sunday August 31 at 13:30
The event will be in English
Den Lille Dør is a Ambient/Jazz project, born out of the idea of creating a new kind of immersive live experience blending photos, field recordings, music and improvisation. Based on photographs from Nordjylland, taken by the projects’ composer Andrea Sciusco, that are collected into sequences: from these Andrea write tailored soundtracks that are executed live by the band, while the slides are projected on the big screen. To enhance the experience they have included recordings of sounds, leaves, animals and natural elements from the direct source of the pictures, creating a new kind of "geographical music". The result is a deep, complete dive into the concept of interaction between loneliness, man, God and nature settled within the beautiful landscapes of Nordjylland. Since the music describes this country all song titles are in Danish; however, to create a deeper connection throughout the live, it's important that each tune gets explained in English to make the audience capture what Andrea sees as a foreigner in this country.
Den Lille Dør are: Andrea Sciusco (drums, photography and composition), Bertil Vesterlund (trumpet), Glen Montanaro (guitar), Mads Jensen (guitar) and Thanos Mistilioglu (electronics, field recordings and soundscaped).
