THE PHONETIC ORCHESTRA (AUSTRALIA)

The Phonetic Orchestra and Ensemble was created in 2012 as a vehicle to explore the evolving relationship between notation and sound. The ensemble brings together musicians from such diverse backgrounds as Contemporary Classical music, Electro-acoustic music and Experimental improvisation to create a group that explores the area between improvisation and composition. Ongoing development in these areas is combined with collaborations with unique voices in Australian and European experimental arts practice.

CHRISTIAN MEAAS SVENDSEN SOLO (NORWAY)

Christian Meaas Svendsen is a versatile bassist playing in groups like Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit, Mopti, Ayumi Tanaka Trio, Duplex, and leading his own project Nakama. He describes his solo project in the following:

“The sound of the double bass. The sound of the double bass playing itself. To demote the performer to merely a machine — to an instrument for the instrument — is not common practice in the contemporary field of improvised music. Inspired by Zen philosophy, by the spontaneity of nature, and by the steady pulsations of life itself, Christian Meaas Svendsen’s solo playing aims for the avoidance of choice, not interfering too much, and letting time guide the music to its next destination. This slow moving mass of sound presents an opportunity for the listener to dig into the multitude of layers and textures in this «one» sound created. By combining traditional and contemporary techniques Christian Meaas Svendsen has created a sound universe that can be likened to some of Stefano Scodanibbio’s, Steve Reich’s and Kim Myhr’s music, but with its own flavor and feel, although its character lies perhaps in its lack of personality. It is said that one needs a strong will to loose one’s will, and that is a close definition to the solo music of Christian Meaas Svendsen.”
