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.
