Project

The first Live part of the evening will present musical duo Irena and Vojtěch Havel, whose music conveys an air of poeticism and draws inspiration from non-European cultures. To compose their music, they incorporate a variety of musical instruments (cello, piano, viola da gamba, bells, Tibetan bowls etc). Taking care of their Live Remix will be Norwegian musician, producer and artistic co-director of the Punkt festival Erik Honoré along with the leading Norwegian percussionist Ingar Zach, the Norwegian duo Streifenjunko (trumpet and tenor saxophone) and the Norwegian string duo Sheriffs of Nothingness which ranks among the leading groups of contemporary music in that country.

The second part of the evening will be dedicated to a Live concert of the very best contemporary avant-garde music not only hailing from Norway – trumpet player Nils Petter Molvær along with the outstanding American drummer and percussionist Hamid Drake, the guitarist Eivind Aarset and the live sampling master/producer Jan Bang (also a co-founder of Punkt). Their Live Remix will be subsequently presented by the composer and electronic music master Per Martinsen.
