“That All Sounds Very Important by Sonisk Sheriff Bjørnar Nilsen”

Vocalist, song writer, and studio engineer, Bjørnar Ervik Nilsen, is Sonic Sheriff for this edition of the project, entitled That All Sounds Very Important, and he will lead the musical improvisations using multiple samples, played through 8 different guitar amps. This will provide the foundation for soundscapes created with saxophonist, Hans Marius Andersen, and drumer, Henrik Nesse. Nilsen is well known within the metal scene for his roles as song writer/front man in Vulture Industries and record lables Karisma and Dark Essence.

This live stream serves us the final 30 minutes of this Sonisk Selskap, where the music is accompanied by dancers from ImproLaBergen, and visual artist Kim Holm. Using real-time NDI video technology, Leo Preston brings us a visual summary combining camera feeds from all the action!

What happens when we invite a musician to put together a completely new ensemble and improvise in Wrap’s AV Lab, with a full technical crew and great recording equipment, then throw seven contemporary dancers, a live drawer and some real-time video wizardry into the equation for a final 30 minutes that are open to the public (live at Wrap and streamed to Youtube)?
Sonic Selskap does just that, providing musicians the unique opportunity to capture those magical moments that so rarely happen on demand in more formal studio settings.
