Special two-day residency with the great Norwegian sound and visual artist Lasse Marhaug, marking 50 years on the blue and green globe and over 30 years exploring the outer reaches of sound in all its forms. Featuring collaborations with Microcorps and Mariam Rezaei, a solo set and film screenings, plus a performance of Marhaug's "Almost Everything" by Oslo-based percussion trio, Pinquins, these are two nights not to be missed.
Lasse Marhaug (b. 1974) works with different mediums like video, photography, print, recordings, live performances, installations, and publishing. Marhaug has released more than three hundred recordings and toured extensively across the world. His main practice has been solo works, but he has also collaborated with a wide range of artists. He has composed music for film, television, theatre and dance performances. In the last ten years Marhaug has produced a number of multi-channel, video and installation works, which often deal with his relationship to nature and sound of his home in Arctic northern Norway. He also works as a graphic designer, producer, writer, and curator.
MICROCORPS is artist and musician Alexander Tucker (Grumbling Fur, Brood X Cycles, Nonexistent, Imbogodom) exploring electronics, cello and voice.
Tucker’s ever-evolving soundworld continues to develop work around complex modular systems, cello, bass guitar and voice, creating tracks of heavy electronics, that meld machine rhythms with acoustic sound sources. Combining techno, contemporary composition, drone and vocal manipulations to create a dense and often psychedelic world. MICROCORPS has released on Alter, The Tapeworm and most recently on Downwards Records with Clear Vortex Chamber, featuring collaborations with Justin K Broadrick, Phew, Regis and Elvin Brandhi. Tucker uses MICROCORPS as both a vehicle for warped techno compositions and as a platform for fluid improvisation.
