On day 2 of the Barefoot Label Fest you can look forward seeing the Norwegian Håkon Berre whom has established himself as one of the most interesting drummers on the Danish scene for improvised music.

Having expanded his diverse floor-setupwith a vast diversity of trash and objects, he juggles scrupulously with materials such as metal, plastic, cardboard, paper, wood and expanded pylostyrene on top of a horizontally lying bass drum.

In the solo project “Mirror Matter”, Håkon focuses mostly on friction / bodies in motion, where he works on a macro level with different objects and their possibilities for friction /vibration, and the resonance it subsequently produces on a receptive sounding board. In addition, the sound is processed electronically using contact microphones and computer software.

BAREFOOT RECORD LABEL FEST
Look forward to get inspired, touched, surprised and challenged, when the artist-collective Barefoot Records for the 13th year in a row invites to a small exclusive festival inside the Copenhagen Jazz Festival the 30th of June - 2nd of July.

The programme consists of some of the most interesting artists from the European scene for improvised music, with international guests, award-winning groups, new meetings and compositional experiments.
For the first time the festival will be hosted in Denmark’s first culture house Huset i Magstræde placed in the heart of Copenhagen, which is the perfect frame to open up your ears with a beer in your hand. Most of the concerts will take place at Xenon on the 4th floor of Huset and they will be accompanied by visual experiments. Just outside in the foyer you will sit just next to the musicians absorbing the acoustic sounds.

Barefoot Records was founded in 2006 and has been called “one of the most interesting labels in Danish jazz” by All About Jazz. The collective consists of 8 musicians from Denmark, Poland, Ireland, Norway and Sweden, which have together released 70 albums so far.
“Barefoot Records have long been a label that celebrates the boundless wonders of jazz. Continually championing artists and encouraging them to step outside of the box in a bid to provide fascinating new perspectives on what constitutes jazz in the 21st century.” - Blue In Green Radio 2021.
