When Noah Rosanes and Thomas Fonnesbæk meet for this special interactive Reflection Concert during the jazz festival, it becomes a sensuous and vibrant concert experience where composition, improvisation, technology and the audience’s own reflections melt together.
The special tension of the evening lies in the encounter between Rosanes’ atmospheric, guitar-driven universe and Thomas Fonnesbæk’s virtuosic and deeply musical bass playing. Both musicians work openly and attentively, and the concert therefore takes on a strong improvisational character, where moods, intensity and direction arise in the moment.
The audience is first guided through a continuous musical journey designed to lead them through different corners of their mind – towards inner calm, contemplation and new perspectives.
The audience as co-creators
Afterwards, the audience is invited to anonymously submit the reflections, thoughts or images that arose in them during the concert. These words are finally brought to life by AI voices, while Rosanes and Fonnesbæk improvise to the audience’s submitted reflections, creating a unique experience shaped jointly by the musicians, the technology and the audience.
With the meeting between Rosanes and Fonnesbæk, the Reflection Concert gains a new dimension: an open musical space where jazz improvisation, audience reflections and technology merge into one unified experience. It is a positive and artistic way of using technology: not to replace people, but to connect them.
This is the first time Langelinieskuret is part of the jazz festival. The venue is a listed heritage building that today houses history, shops, a wine bar and events. With its unique location by the Øresund and the long promenade, the shed has become a vibrant meeting place where the city’s history meets contemporary urban life.
Noah Rosanes (b. 1976) is a composer, guitarist, producer and artist working in the intersection between composition, technology and audience involvement. He has created Reflection Concerts at venues such as the Planetarium, the Glyptotek and Roskilde Cathedral, has been artist-in-residence at Christiansborg and is behind the cross-artistic project Unify at Roskilde Festival.
Thomas Fonnesbæk (b. 1977) is one of Danish jazz’s strongest bass players and improvisers. Recipient of the Ben Webster Prize 2021, he has played with artists such as Paolo Fresu, Enrico Pieranunzi, Justin Kauflin, Stefano Bollani and Harvey Mason, and in Denmark he is known for his critically acclaimed duo collaboration with Sinne Eeg, which received a Danish Music Award in 2015.
