2021 EDITION REALISED WITH SUPPORT FROM: William Demant Foundation – Koda Kultur – Solist Foreningen – DMF - Slots og Kulturstyrelsen -
The first edition of the festival took place in 2021 and presented 5 events. It started with it’s time to breathe – a meditative concert at Metronomen, continued with three concerts presenting new large-scale works by young Denmark-based composers at Christianshavns Beboerhus, and concluded with MODERN CINEMA – a cinematic concert experience at Cinemateket.
Expanding music extended beyond the individual works and into the spaces in which we presented our events. The concerts presented at Christianshavn Beboerhus made libertine use of the space and situate audiences in hybrid environments from paranormal echoes to alienated digital routines and radical forms of [theatrical] play. Adopting the cinematic idiom, MODERN CINEMA was structured like an outing at the cinema. The evening featured a film made of individual video compositions stitched together, preceded by composed advertisements & trailers, and interspersed with live interventions that play off the social act of watching a film together.
