Concert: Vassvik/Silvola/Strype

Joik Noir. Free Guitar. A Sámi Finnish Finnish Norwegian Synergy.
In this joyful experimental encounter between strong performers, traditional Sámi melodies are developed into animistic avantgarde Joik by a collective improvisational process. Creative vocal expression melts with innovative guitar playing and sound design into a new type of music, where the past reaches out to the future.

Doors open at 20:00

Concert starts at 21:00

The Sami musician, composer and bandleader Torgeir Vassvik from Sápmi, Norway, is a representative of the second wave of Sami music, and especially the Coastal Sami tradition. He has developed his own musical expression with a style-defining aesthetic, and his musical exploration has led to collaborations with choirs, orchestras, jazz and classical musicians.

The Finnish/Norwegian composer, musician, and producer Juhani Silvola plays folk and experimental compositions and improvisations. In his electro-acoustic work, he is concerned with rhythm and phrasing in their widest sense, idiosyncratic melodic trajectories and the creation of the deepest, most animated timbres and textures as possible.

Audun Strype is experienced, but ever curious about music, technology and other earthly activities. Fond of the sounds of the forest, he prefers to pass time far away from anything that uses fuel and has a noisy engine. Favorite weekend hi-fi: Tandberg system 20 with Tripath amplifier and solar panel.
