We invite you on a musical parkour through the multilayered spaces of Kulturhuset! Just show up with your ticket to be gently led up and down the stairs through wonderful musical worlds, all woven together by the performers of French ensemble soundinitiative. From performing bodies, to interactive musical ropes, keytar solos, to vibrating walls, soundinitiative along with their collaborator choreographer Julie Despraires, want to recontextualise how we experience new musical creations, relating each performance to the spaces and places where people are gathering. 

ICI meaning “here” in French is a concert for a place, a journey imagined in situ to set the space in vibration. This two hour sound adventure leads you through different listening spaces and atmospheres, featuring works by Pauline Oliveros, Frederic Mathevet, Winnie Huang, Julien Malaussena, Joshua Hyde, Michelle Agnès Magalhaes & Gwen Rouger, culminating with the world premiere of a new piece by shining star of Norwegian new music Kristine Tjøgersen. In BOWER with scenographer Maja Nilson, ensemble and choreographer, this new interdisciplinary collaboration transports us in to the unique world of the Bower bird. From architectural nest building to elaborate courtship rituals, movements, sound and music are directly translated and inspired by the birds' daily routines, habitat, sound world, interaction and behaviour.
