Omdrejninger (feat. D​ö​rner, Zach, Rexen, Kullberg, Heeb​ø​ll, Skj​ø​dt & Solborg)

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Omdrejninger is a project conceived by sound-installation artist Christian Skjødt and composer, and guitarist Mark Solborg aiming at investigating and challenging the listening experience for both musicians and audience. A site-specific work for ensemble, space and loudspeakers. Solborg and Skjødt call it a spatial instrument.

    The Danish word Omdrejninger translates best into revolutions (as in r.p.m.), turns or rounds... In brief the music consists of composed and improvised pieces played by a handpicked
    ensemble and then processed through a system developed and designed specifically for the project. The system (the patch) can only treat what it receives from the ensemble and the microphones. Delay, enlarge, distort, sample, and geografical displace through the speakers in different patterns and tempi. For these editions the audience was placed around the ensemble and the loudspeakers around all. An original version of a contemporary and very special listening experience. Another way of communicating relatively abstract music and sound.

    The first version of Omdrejninger was commissioned by the Wundergrund festival (now G((o))ng Tomorrow), premiered in KoncertKirken at Nørrebro. The participants was, besides Skjødt and Solborg, the legendary german trumpet-player Axel Dörner, cellist Jakob Kullberg, vocalist Michael Rexen and drummer Bjørn Heebøll. It was an intense and unique experience for both audience and musicians.

    “..a sensation of a spatial instrument with the powers to lift and take off with all of us.
    ..there are listening moments of transcendence. Maybe the church has a new function where the space no longer holds a connection between man and god but to the very borders of sound and music . In this instance facilitated by sound, space and technology”
    - Laura Berivan Nilsson, Omlyd

    During Copenhagen Jazzfestival 2015 another edition was brought to life. This time with an explosive combination of Dörner, the Norwegian percussionist Ingar Zach (playing a Gran Cassa and more), Solborg and Skjødt.

    Both editions where recorded in sound and picture by The Lake Radio, John Fomsgaard, a.o. Then it was processed, mixed and mastered by Solborg and Skjødt in collaboration with true experts within the field.

    The result is a double 180g vinyl album, 2 visual rendtions by director and cutter Laurits Flensted-Jensen in video-format with surround sound + a fotomontage with pictures by Peter Ganushkin, Hanne Budtz-Jørgensen and Raphael Frisenvænge. The release is also available in a reduced version on CD and digitally.

    Omdrejninger holds a dense and nuanced sound-universe in many layers. We recommend good stereo and/or 5.1. surround listening equipment, or headphones, for a full and detailed experience.

    Enjoy !
