DANS
FOR VOKSNE spring 2010

The
unreadable text in the bottom says that Audun Eriksen and Arnfinn Killingtveit
will hold a workshop on computer trash and PD some time in March, (guess theyÕre
going to build controllers or something, ) that ArnfinnÕs Tribo P¾nix will be
shown and talked about and that weÕre going to do a field recording project in
June and want to go to prison.
WeÕll be back with more info soon!

Dans
for voksne is first of all a
concert series. ItÕs best described by what itÕs not: Formal, dogmatic,
straight, foreseeable, etc.
Dans
for voksne has been putting on
gigs that nobody else wants since 2003, which means lots of experimental stuff,
noise, improv and also people who are too young or from somewhere too far away
or just hopelessly unable to sell themselves.
Dans
for voksne is not meant for
the biggest audiences, but to supply the most interested one with a wider range
of music. ItÕs there to create a functioning experimental music scene in Oslo
and – in all senses – a link between that scene and the rest of the
world.
Dans
for voksne also puts up
workshops for those who want to build their own sound sources.
Dans
for voksneÕs super ultra North
of everything project on Svalbard* in March -09 sent a bunch of musicians on an
expedition through one of the most hostile yet beautiful landscapes on earth to
the abandoned Russian mining town The Pyramid, on 79∘
north, to see what it
could do to their output, but also to have a closer look at stepping across
borders.
To make this kind of projects stays
on the agenda, together with the exploration of more unknown musics. For 2010 we
plan to put on more workshops, a musical think tank, and of course more gigs.
Some of them hopefully in Norwegian seamenÕs churches around the globe.
Dans for voksne translates to
something like Dancing for grown-ups.
* Svalbard is also called
Spitzbergen by many non-Norwegians. Looks a lot like this:

Alan Courtis took
this somewhere near The Pyramid.
