Lys og Stemmer – i september!
Exciting news for danish people - in danish (sorry).
LYS – landskab og stemmer, seks aftener i september 2011
Evigt produktive Marie Højlund har i samarbejde med Søren Lyngsø Knudsen lavet en musikalsk stemmekomposition til et unikt lys- og lydværk skabt specielt til seks forskellige steder i den Østjyske natur. Værket opleves i landskabet, hvor man både ser og hører stemme komposition, lys, skulptur og digt.
Lys - landskab og stemmer er skabt i samarbejde med programmører, virksomheder, kunstnere og borgere og anvender helt ny teknologi. I en gammel campingvogn, forvandlet til et lydstudie, er Inger Christensens glødende digt LYS fra 1962, blevet indtalt 758 gange!! Ligesom Inger Christensens digt, spænder værket sig ud mellem lys og mørke, mellem mennesker og landskab, mellem nærhed og fjernhed. En lyslinie følger landskabet til horisontens forsvindingspunkt sammen med et musikalsk lydværk.
Elle-Mie Ejdrup Hansen har formgivet særlige højtalere, der refererer til menneskets krop og placeret dem i landskabet under lyslinien.

>My humble admiration
>
Shirin Neshat شیرین نشاط (born March 26, 1957 in Qazvin, Iran) is a contemporary Iranian visual artist who lives in New York. She is known primarily for her work in film, video and photography. She made this video installation called Turbulent and is so breathtaking. I would love to learn a little bit about the vocal technic the singers masters so beautifully.
The female singer is Sussan Deyhim and she is a composer, vocalist and performance artist who has been at the forefront of experimental music internationally for over two decades. Originally this is a video installation, in a totally dark room with the man on one wall and the woman on the opposite.
If you are in Copenhagen you can go see it at: Galleri Faurschou.
Please give me a hint if you know somewhere I can study persian singing - better today than tomorrow.
>Rapman & Raptrax
>We have this wonderful old Casio synth called Rapman that you can hear on different Marybell songs already. One example is the high pitched synth melody on Good Old Germany.
The synth is of cause from the eighties had some accessories coming with it, very fancy little package, which include a nice pair of sunglasses, and a casette with raptrax, played on the synth! Awesome!
On this casette you find some very oldfashioned raptrax feat. amongst others the rapper Heavy D and his girlz. The track I like the most is called Girls They Love Me, and I used it for inspiration for one of the new Marybell songs, but for now you will need to settle with the original:
>Orchestral Oriental Electronic Musik
>The new songs take their form in highspeed, and I can now with certainty say that it has an orchestral-oriental-electronic-feel to it - as if that makes sense to you - so today I worked on a song with the short and catchy working title The Difference Between Illusion And Perception, the instrumental section consists of both synths, heartbeats and two Indian instruments:
The Bansuri Flute:
And the Shehnai Oboe (as you hear in the begining of this wonderful clip from a Bollywood movie (I love the way the compression sometimes tweaks their voices))
>The whale shirt atmosphere
>
I think I will make a song inspired by this Tshirt. I had it since I was a kid and it´s from Iceland - Maybe the song will be called "The Whale Shirt" or something like that...
