Part of Scene Norway at Kings Place
Scene Norway culminates in a three day focus on Punkt, the ground-breaking Festival from southern Norway's Kristiansand, bringing together some of the country's finest and most original contemporary musicians into creative dialogue with artists from the UK and beyond...a mind-expanding collision of acoustic and electronic sound masterminded by Jan Bang and Erik Honoré .
Punkt takes the idea of live remixing to a new level, occupying two spaces in Kings Place to create back-to-back concerts for a moving audience. In the live room, across the three days, musicians including Jon Hassell, Nils Petter Molvær, Sidsel Endresen, Eivind Aarset, Arve Henriksen, Morten Qvenild and the UK's Tim Elsenburg of Sweet Billy Pilgrim fame combine in varying formations to create stunning sonic landscapes. Aftereach set, the audience crosses the foyer to Hall Two to find the original material completely re-invented. Reflective, acoustic sets can mutate into pumped-up electronica, whilst high density, full on performances can become stripped to their bare essentials - sampled, re-mixed and transformed into a completely new entity.
Each evening's ticket consists of four sets, two in Hall One (seated) and two in Hall Two (standing only).
