The Bakery, as the name suggests, is a work that unfolds over an entire day in the form of a pop-up bakery. It’s one long rondo that takes on different forms throughout the day and will stretch between a bakery, a conversation salon, listening games, and new music in trio format. Throughout the day, Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard, along with the duo Remember Sound (comprising composers and musicians Niklas Brandenhoff and Dylan Richards), will, among other things, serve homemade cakes and waffles in an attempt to create situations that might suggest other ways of being together than what is often the case when a new work is premiered.
The work will span approximately 5 hours and take the form of a (long) chain rondo. The ritornello will fold back on itself throughout the day, possibly to the point of oversaturation. The episodes will vary in content but have roughly the same length throughout the day. Among the episodes, one can experience "Stop - Waffle Time!”, "The Soft d", "Sounding Coconut Macaroons", “Sights and sounds in ophthalmology”, “Softening for saxophone (performed by Niels Lyhne and special guest; James Black)” and "Overhead (soft) Clapping Music."
Through the work, the trio tries to establish a softer place that is not fully baked into a fixed artistic form – a bakery that might suggest ways out of the separation of disciplines and soften the boundaries between the audience and performer, and between the performers themselves. A key concept related to the work is reconciliation – The Bakery explores how, through the softening of the hard, we might reconcile with traumas and perhaps build bridges, friendships, and create changes across previous conflicts, divisions, privileges, and structural conditions (also in the environments surrounding new music in Denmark).
