Album release - VOICESCAPES

New Album by Randi Pontoppidan & Thomas Buckner

VOICESCAPES

Thomas Buckner – Voice

Randi Pontoppidan – Voice and live electronic processing

Label: Chant Records

Randi Pontoppidan and Thomas Buckner started singing together almost immediately when they met in 2017. From a serendipitous session at Pontoppidan’s home to performances at Copenhagen’s Monday Club, they discovered a shared language of improvisation, musical invention and spiritual connection. In 2018, they recorded at Karmacrew Studio with engineer John Fomsgaard, on the beautiful island of Møn, Denmark. With no preconceived musical material, no overdubs and no sound sources other than voices, Voicescapes documents the spontaneous music of two kindred souls.

Concert with Kahina Orchestra - Postponed
20:00
Koncertkirken, Blågårds Plads, Copenhagen

KAHINA ORCHESTRA (Fin/ Dk/ No/ Se)

Johanna Sulkunen (Fin/Dk) og Randi Pontoppidan (Dk) er to af Danmarks forgangskvinder inden for vokal improvisationsmusik og avantgarde. Sammen har de komponeret værket Kahina for 10 musikere.

Værket Kahina er inspireret og navngivet efter den arabiske kriger-dronning, Kahina, et navn der også betyder “sandsigerske” og “heks”. Således vil dette værk være en hyldest til Kahinas magiske kræfter og kvaliteter ved at oversætte dem til musik. Lige så vil modsætningerne dominans/modstand, mandlig/kvindelig og profan/sekulær være genstand for Pontoppidan og Sulkunens kompositoriske undersøgelser og improvisationer med Kahina Orchestra: 10 hverdagskrigere.

På finsk betyder ‘Kahina’ rusten eller hvinende lyd, der appellerer til de to komponisters hver især elektro-akustiske praksisser, hvor arbejdet med lyd baseres på en helt særlig opmærksomhed over for detaljen.

Sulkunen og Pontoppidans individuelle praksisser er kendetegnede ved at udforske stemmens mange facetter og virkemidler i gennem maskiner som modular synthesizere, loop-pedaler og effektpedaler. Kompositionen til Kahina Orchestra vil være karakteristisk ved ikke at benytte sig af disse vanlige elektroniske hjælpemidler. I stedet vil komponisterne benytte stemmer og instrumenters naturlige effekt og funktion med kompositionsformer, som Sulkunen og Pontoppidan har udviklet igennem maskiner.

Kompositionen vil tage lytteren på en vibrerende rejse gennem musikernes individuelle udfoldelses-spektrum, hvorfor soloer vil boble ind og ud af det fælles værk.

Alt i alt vil værket af Sulkunen og Pontoppidan med Kahina Orchestra tage publikum med på en intim udforskning af musikalsk råstof, der lader musikere og lyttere flyde sammen til én organisme i det levende soundscape.

I februar 2020 havde værket sin debut på Klub Primi under Vinterjazz og blev anmeldt bade i Politiken med fem hjerter og en strålende anmeldelse i SaltPeanuts.

”Jeg tog mig selv i at svaje fra side til side, forført af det smukke lydbillede, mens koret messede, og hårene rejste sig på mine arme…. Infernalsk eksplosion af lyd”. Af David A.Dyrholm Nielsen/ POLITIKEN

“Dette er et verk som snarest bør finne veien ut til de store massene ute i Norden og Europa, for en bedre kobling mellom et vokalensemble og instrumentalister, skal man lete lenge etter. “ Jan Granlie/ SALT PEANUTS

Kahina Orchestra består af: Randi Pontoppidan (vokal/komposition), Johanna Sulkunen (vokal /komposition), Guro Tveitnes (vokal), Anna Mose (vokal), Kamilla Kovacs (vokal), Carolyn Goodwin (Basklarinet), Pauline Hogstrand (Bratch), Anne Anderson (trompet), Ida Bach Jensen (kontrabas) og Maria Dybbroe (saxofon). Orkesteret er sammensat af stærke kvindelige profiler inden for improvisationsmusik med ønsket om i fremtiden at løfte genren til nye højder.

I år kan du deltage i Langfredag med musikgudstjenesten Brorsons After Dark, der denne dag bliver et samspil mellem kvindekoret IKI, Lars from Mars og kirken præst Nicolaj Stubbe Hørlyck. Særligt for denne aften er Lars’ 3D højttaler Sound Objectet, der med sin centrale placering i rummet, vil give mulighed for refleksion over Langfredagens mysterium gennem lyd og ord.

Langfredag er den mørkeste dag i kirkens kalender. En dag hvor alle drømme og alt håb falder fra hinanden. Der er tradition i kirken for, at Langfredag får lov at stå som det store spørgsmålstegn. Den dag, er alteret tomt for lys og blomster og kirkens dekorationer er tildækket. Først Påskemorgen vil håbet igen skinne og minde os om at døden ikke får det sidste ord.

KAHINA II by Johanna Sulkunen & Randi Pontoppidan

Koncertkirken Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2nd July – 2021 kl 19:00

‘Kahina’ is an Arabic mythic figure, a queen, a warrior, a prophetess, seer or witch.

She is said to live in the late seventh century and to have had supernatural powers which enabled her amongst others to foretell the future, talk with the birds and be a strong leader and an early feminist.

– ‘Kahina’ is also a word in Finnish standing for a rustling, whining sound.

Welcome to a journey from smooth, yet rough desserts where ancient themes and stories resemble with our postmodern visions.

Line Up:

Randi Pontoppidan – vocal / composition

Johanna Sulkunen – vocal /composition

Guro Tveitnes – vocal

Anna Mose – vocal

Kamilla Kovacs – vocal

Carolyn Goodwin – Basclarinet

Friday IKI

IKI: MASSES II – SEPARATION

This is your personal rite of passage. Transformation from past, to present, to future.

Welcome to Day 1 of MASSES II.

From now on, you are part of the performance. You have become a part of our experience – we have become a part of your experience – we experience together, as individuals in a mass, what it is to separate.

IKI is: Anna Mose (DK), Guro Tveitnes (NO), Johanna Sulkunen (FIN), Kamilla Kovacs (DK), Randi Pontoppidan (DK)
