Welcome to a night of experimental music in Bergen Kjøtt Bar that will move through the adjacent audio landmasses of noise, textural sound collage and disrupted ambience.
SINDRE BJERGA has been working with experimental music for more than 20 years. In the late 90s he released records and played concerts as part of Fibo-Trespo, and has been on around 40 foreign tours since 2006, initially as the duo Bjerga/Iversen and more recently as a solo artist and as part of other constellations. He plays in the duo Star Turbine (with Claus Poulsen from Denmark) and the duo Tech Riders (with Frans de Waard from the Netherlands).
As a solo artist and in these constellations, Bjerga explores different aspects of what is often referred to as noise music, improvisation and sound collage. All these constellations have their own characteristics, but operate within similar sound universes.
Bjerga works a lot with cassettes and live collages of both self-recorded and found sound; fragmenting, placing and replacing sounds from very different sources on top of each other, allowing them to stretch and shift into something new. In addition, he uses voice, percussion, converted toys, plastic and metal - all without any digital processing or effects pedals of any kind.
HÅKON LIE has played his own mix of noise, sound collage and pling plong for many years, both solo and with musicians such as Dario Fariello, Harald Fetveit, Li Tieqiao, Andreas Lønmo Knudsrød and Sindre Bjerga. He has also collaborated several times with the Japanese Buto dance duo MutsumiNeiro.
Live, Lie plays on a record player, with an experimental approach to turntablism, and lately has even been observed with the record player on his lap. He plays close, chaotic, intimate, fragmentary and tactile non-ballads using crushed vinyl, cut cassette tapes and contact microphones. His concerts can be confusing, challenging and fragmentary experiences, which can also have humorous elements.
KARINA SLETTEN is a multidisciplinary artist working with sound as material and content. Her works are often built around reflections on topics concerning spatiality, perception and sensibility. Her background is within experimental music, noise and radio. Her sonic landscapes are built on sampling, field recordings and voice-manipulations in real-time. You can expect dreamy, reflective monologues with a pulsing ambient beat.
