  Concert with Greg Cohen

  Koncert Kirken, Copenhagen

  

  • Event Horizon

  Greg Cohen – double bass

  Randi Pontoppidan – Voice, electronic

  The Duo Event Horizon of Randi Pontoppidan and Greg Cohen takes on the bold challenge of

  making improvised music with voice, electronics and double bass.

  The two veterans of improvisation began playing together 2015.

  This experiment resulted in a dynamic duo recording (Space Geode) that will be

  released later this year. Pontoppidan and Cohen draw from nature and color to direct their sonic endeavours. Each performance is unique and uncontrolled. A musical piñata, of sorts.

  The love of sculpting sounds, melodies and pulses, makes this duo a visceral

  and buoyant soundscape.

  Space Geode

  Pre-order is up for Space Geode!

  Here's the link: https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/space-geode/1403488852?mt=1&app=music

  The duo Event Horizon, has put on their crash helmets, and set their

  course for a strato-stream in deep space.

  Vocalist Randi Pontoppidan and bassist Greg Cohen are explorers.

  The nature of Space Geode is simple. Better Living thru improvisation.

  This recording was done without preparation or intention.

  Only the simple motivation of believing in the others ability to dive

  head first into deep space. This all occurred one November day.

  In a room that was once the headquarters for East Berlin radio called The Funkhaus, Berlin.

  Most of the recording was done in the dark. So space was all around us.

  When there was an overdub, it was done without preconception.

  Immediately after the improvisation, it was decided to add another track,

  without hearing what we had just played.

  So this musical statement is a rough, true and direct representation of what the nature of our duo is.

  Laurie Anderson wrote about the album: Ethereal

But his career is long and consistently varied and he’ worked with everyone from Woody Allen to David Byrne, Elvis Costello, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Antony and the Johnsons, Elvis Costello, Laurie Anderson, Willie Nelson, as well as part of numerous improvisatory ensembles. He’ considered something of a musicians musician having appeared on such iconic albums as 1980′ Heart Attack and Vine and 1999′ Mule Variations for Tom Waits and 2001′ Life on a String for Laurie Anderson.

  Denne aften skaber rum til fordybelse. Den anerkendte kontrabassist Joel Illerhag vil fortrylle os med toner, der med følsomhed og indlevelse inviterer dig til at udforske menneskelivets store spørgsmål i musikkens åndelige rum: kærlighed, død og kampen for at finde lyset i mørket. Alle dele vil have en plads denne aften, hvor vi vil søge nærværet for at finde lys og følgeskab i glæden, sorgen, underskuddet eller overskuddet.
