Two weeks: 18.11.–1.12.2024.
A lot going on right now.
Ny Lille Klub continues its In the Studio workshop series this Tuesday (November 19th) with composer and sound artist Puyain Sanati, and next Tuesday (November 26th) with Rebecca Molina. More info and tickets here.
Primi studio’s Tuesday program hosts a workshop and a performance with self-built/modified instruments with Viltė Gustytė and Gintė Preisaitė called A Fly Falls into a Speaker. The workshop starts at 17:00, and the performances begin at 20:30. As usual, the entrance is pay-what-you-want.
This Wednesday, November 20th from 17:00 Proton Records is hosting a release reception for Johan Carøe’s The Great Silence, an album of recordings selected and refined from the score of the eponymous film. There will also be a DJ set by Barkhausen Recordings.
On Thursday, November 21 at 18:00, Heirloom Center for Art and Archives and Fotografisk Center will host an evening of films on Palestine, curated by the film collective Beforeforgetting. They'll screen Palestine in the Eye (1976) by Mustafa Abu Ali, UNDR (2024) by Kamal Aljafari, and News Time (2001) by Azza El-Hassan. The screening will take place at Heirloom, Sølvgade 36. Admission is free, but visitors are encouraged to make a donation to Pal-Action or the first responders in Lebanon.
The new edition of the ChurChill event series at Brorsons Kirke is set for this Friday, November 22nd. The unusually strong line-up includes Ingri Høyland, Jessie Kleemann x Søren Gemmer, Anders Bach, and Peter Kohlmetz, with live visuals by Vera Jansson and Josefine Agerholm. The “sermon” takes place from 19:00 to 23:00, and admission is free! P.S. I would kindly suggest rethinking that event name, though. It's 2024, and we as a society have progressed past the need for cheap puns (well, except maybe for the people who come up with names for craft beer). <3
Mayhem seems to be on a roll lately, but they're persistent in their efforts to not over-promote their events by way of minimalist, cryptic announcements that require potential attendees to know at least one or two of the artists on the lineup, preferably in person. Myra and Scammer Records are hosting an event on Friday the 22nd called Good Music, with live performances by ESP, Soli City, and Tonser, and DJ sets by Oqbqbo and Josephine Moriko.
And on Saturday the 23rd, starting at 20:00, the Rhizome label will take over Mayhem for Skarv’s Polymer Veil release party. Obviously, Skarv will perform live, and the event will also feature concerts by Ryong and Harald Bjørn's Soli City Ensemble.
Hotel Cecil is back with a Sunday night show on November 24th featuring Julia Holter, who is touring with her latest album Something in the Room She Moves. Supporting her will be Nyokabi Kariũki. The show seems to be almost sold out, so act fast.
On Monday, November 25, at 19:00, Sorte Firkant organizes a solidarity screening of The Political Circus Show by the independent theater and cultural center Metro Al Madina from Beirut. The film will be shown with English subtitles. Solidarity tickets will be available from 200 DKK, with all proceeds going directly to Metro Al Madina.
The calendar gets really busy on Tuesday the 26th! At 20:00, The Lake presents Works for Radio 2024 at Cinemateket, featuring new works by Antye Greie-Ripatti (AGF), Louis André Jørgensen, Oda Haugerud, Nazanin Noori and ilinx. The live listening session will be followed by a reception with drinks and sets by The Lake Radio DJs.
The same evening ALICE will host a show by Iranian electronic artist Sote. His latest album, Ministry of Tall Tales, was released earlier this year on SVBKVLT.
Aaaand also on Tuesday the 26th, this year's MINU Festival for Expanded Music kicks off with the performance Eclipse at Ku.Be, followed by the opening of Hanne Lippard’s exhibition Endolphins on Wednesday at 15:00 at Platform Bunker. The festival, dedicated to the presentation of art at the borders of experimental music and other media, takes place at different locations and runs until Sunday, December 1. Check out the full program here.
Jolene has started a new Thursday night event series featuring concerts by electronic music adjacent artists. Next week, on Thursday, November 28, Nic Krog and Norwegian duo Soft as Snow will perform live. Soft as Snow's third album metal.wet, released earlier this month, is a dose of pop-leaning deconstructed club with an appearance by Brother May. Nic Krog’s first full-length (after abandoning the Misantrop moniker), the radio play Perfect Pattern, will be released soon on Nick Klein’s physic liberation label. Free admission before 21:00, 50 kroner afterwards. Hot tip!
The same night, Unearth will host a season-opening party at the ARKEN Museum starting at 18:30, featuring a live set by Elusin and DJ sets by Kamixlo and Sgabe. The afterparty at Module starts at 22:00, featuring Sausha, HVAD, dj srirachas, R03s3SS, and more.
Finally, on Saturday, November 30th, we have Proton Records’ birthday party at Jolene with a “hypnotic percussion performance” by Irene Bianco and “gone mind-bender IDM” by Xuri & John Cleworth, followed by DJ sets by Proton’s own Bjarke Høver, Martin Gilleshøj, Mikkel Stensgaard, and Anders Olesen. This is bound to be a good one! Admission is free until 22:00, 75 dkk afterwards.
Later in the night, over at Den Anden Side, Group Therapy is hosting a fundraiser for World AIDS Day, with sets from rRoxymore, Midland, Cockwhore & Macho, Proxy, Carlo & Selma, and Frederik Tollund.
Quite a few interesting events in the coming weeks, but, as with everything else, follow your heart?!
