RMC præsenterer på Klein: Benjamín Gísli & Oscar Andreas Haug + A A G O T + Johan Nordin + Lasse Jacobsen Quartet

Benjamín Gísli & Oscar Andreas Haug

An explorative musical encounter between two of the most exciting upcoming improvisors on the Nordic scene. They will dive straight into free improvisation, building on the Nordic jazz tradition. Pianist Benjamín Gísli Einarsson and trumpetist Oscar Andreas Haug met at the Jazz Conservatorium in Trondheim in the autumn of 2019. Since then, they have worked closely together in various projects, released an album with the band Bliss Quintet and played at some of Norway’s biggest jazz venues and festivals.

A A G O T: ‘sammen-sat-sammen’

A research process that is crystallizing into a hybrid art piece. I try to define a method, an approach and a praxis for facilitating co-creation. The process is the base and in a way the performance. I chose to start from the materiality of paper and the art of notation and use them as the premises of free exploration and experimentation. “Open scores“ - literally, using transparent material, readable for both performers and audience. In this quest I am using sounds, images, scenographic interventions, video work in collaboration with different artists. This encounter with the concrete of different papers has the premise of forming in a non-descriptive but direct way contact to textures that we often approach by using more metaphorical terms as light, floaty, heavy, transparent, fragile, resistance, scratchy, ambivalent, restless, fragmented, colors, nature elements and so on.

I am using a “machine” to degrade and up-grade the processual scores. The repetitive action of copying copies of copies of copies of copies of copies of copies transforms the original to new objects, similar but different in their own way. Can this processing in itself give and guide us into a way of merging sonic material…
