about
Nina Fukuoka is a Japanese and Polish composer and performer based in New York City. She makes instrumental and computer music and uses various media and technologies to express extramusical meaning. Her works are focused on the contemporary world through the lens of horror esthetics, video games, and feminist scholarships. She explores the possibilities of communicating through art by superimposing latent meanings with distinct images within the context of tradition and mass culture.
Like glistening sculptures, Mads Emil Dreyer's music exists as much in its own sure forms as in the listener's individual response to them. His music creates conscious hinterlands in which detailed, focused sounds can be observed, like an artwork unfolding in time. As interested in knobs and buttons as violins and flutes, Mads Emil Dreyer often sets up a dialogue between electroacoustic and acoustic entities. His music might use electronics to blur tonal harmonies, mimic acoustic sounds or place a fog around regimented instrumental robotics. Sometimes, electronics are deployed to counterbalance music with vision, presenting sound and image as two sides of the same process.
jacob remin is an artist and engineer, composer and designer. central to his praxis is collaboration and infrastructural critique, with special focus on the meeting between late capitalism and the algorithmic potential of the internet and computers everywhere. it manifests in the meeting between light, space, sculpture and composition.
K!ART is an experimental music ensemble and creative platform based in Copenhagen. The group has been presenting DIY-flavored, intermedial music events since 2019.
The concert is realised with support from Statens Kunstfond, Knud Højgaards Fond, William Demant Fond, KODA Kultur, DMF & Solistforeningen af 1921.
