Hvad nu hvis Schuberts vandrer mødte en cyborg?

EKKI MINNA og Sebastian Vinther Olsen: »NO MORE NO LESS«

Franz Schuberts Täuschung, altså »bedrag-delen« fra Winterreise, hvor et dansende lys forfører en nedslået vandrer, der savner distraktion, får en eksklusiv tur i ny musik-transformatoren af den københavnske duo EKKI MINNA og tonemesteren Sebastian Vinther Christensen. Deres humoristiske og stilsikre arrangementer lader Schuberts forførende lys danse lige ind i vores tid.

EKKI MINNA har skiftet klaveret ud med accordeon, mens Christian Winther Christensen går mere radikalt til værks med sit karakteristiske og uforudsigelige mix af slag, knibs og mikromelodier fra cello, accordion eller er det et lille orgel? Et veltilrettelagt fysisk statement om, at klassiske instrumenter i vores tid kan frembringe noget radikalt anderledes. Det indledende, fjantende og dansende lys leder os videre til Mads Emil Dreyers smukke, rolige, langt mere alvorlige, ambiente lydlandskab – et blødt og indadvendt sted, der giver mulighed for at meditere over livets bølgende dissonans og konsonans. Lykkes værket i at finde samklang til sidst, selvom tonerne igen og igen søger spænding i yderområderne?

Til sidst hilser det antropocæne temmelig foruroligende på os med sin ambiente uhygge og en cyborgs stemme, Mia Ghabarous autotunede vokal i »A lot of Angels.« Ja, Schuberts vandrer findes også i vores tid, og afslutningen på turen er ildevarslende i en grad, så man får lidt lyst til at gå hjem og preppe.

NO MORE NO LESS er en vellykket collage af humor, spænding og melankoli, hvis dansende lys sætter både livets vaklen og vores musikarv i et tankevækkende perspektiv.

My name is Henrik Marstal – would you like to see my playlist?

»Who ever said that music is ‘just’ music? To me, it is anything but that: an urge to understand and explain it all. A piece of jewelry I wear every single day. A joy that can, at times, run deep. An ever-changing imprint of millions of stitches in my heart. A longing to disappear.«

Henrik Marstal is a musician, author, and music researcher. He holds a PhD in musicology, is a senior lecturer at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, and frequently appears in the media as an expert source on music. His areas of interest include contemporary music, such as electronic music. This winter, he will release both a new album with the pop group ibens and a book about Else Marie Pade, published by the British publishing house Bloomsbury.

»Music helps me feel, process and regulate my emotions, giving them an outlet when I need release and bringing me calm when I need balance – it’s sort of my outsourced nervous system.«

Krzysztof Pietraszewski is a music journalist, editor and curator based in Kraków, Poland. Since 2016, he has served as artistic director of Sacrum Profanum, a festival dedicated to new and experimental music. He hosts Muzykoteka and the RKK Live concert rebroadcast series on Radio Kraków Kultura. He also develops listening sessions with discussions, inviting audiences to discover unfamiliar music, exchange impressions and experience listening as a shared activity. His work includes executive-producing recordings for the Sacrum Profanum Archives series. Originally from Silesia, he has made Kraków his home, sharing music through concerts, radio broadcasts, writing and, more recently, experimental DJ sets.

My name is Lone Hørslev – would you like to see my playlist?

»For me, music is at its best when it appeals to both the head and the heart. I love music that plays with language and understands how words create images, while also possessing its own unique sonic quality and mood. It’s an added bonus if the music energizes me during a run, makes me dance in the kitchen, or makes me laugh. Or cry. Music can be like a chocolate-coated marshmallow treat with a surprise inside.«

Lone Hørslev is an author of poetry, novels, and song lyrics, as well as the TV series Den gode stemning. Together with Mads Mouritz, she forms one half of the Mouritz/Hørslev Project, and she recently wrote lyrics for the musical theatre production STOLT in collaboration with Katrine Muff. The songs can be found on the album Jeg ønsker mig.

My name is Raphael Loher – would you like to see my playlist?

»I think music is just the way I perceive and process the world.«

Raphael Loher is a pianist and composer based in Lucerne, Switzerland who combines elements of experimental electronic music, ambient, and minimalist composition. His distinct, crystalline work explores playful reduction and rhythmic abstraction, aiming to create singular resonances and aesthetic connections. His meditative style of piano playing allows shimmering rhizomatic structures to emerge, giving rise to tense narrative arcs. Loher expands his sound spectrum by preparing the piano, using effect pedals, and working with a tape recorder.

Loher’s new album Figuren (Präsens Editionen) is an album shaped by intuition, experimentation, and a deliberate distance from his primary instrument — the piano. Reworking intimate concert recordings made during a residency, Loher deconstructed selected melodies, tones, and resonances into new forms, transforming them further through tape manipulation.
