Valby Vokalgruppe (Valby Vocal Group) - “Stemmeprismer”
For this concert, Valby Vocal group will perform completely new music under the name "Stemmeprismer". The music consists of rhythmic investigations that, like optical prisms, can break down the pattern into the colours of the individual voices. With inspiration from polyrhythmic structures, Meredith Monk's "hockets" and tonal language from the antique period
Valby Vocal group explores the voice as a rhythmic foundation. Lyrics emerge as small haiku-like prisms inside the rhythmic prisms. Compositions are created which are very fixed and done and at the same time very open to the creativity of the members, which gives a feeling of presence, intensity and that something is at stake.
Valby Vokalgruppe consists of Lil Lacy, Cæcilie Trier, Sonja LaBianca and Anja Jacobsen. Anja founded the group in 2008 as an experiment into the possibilities of the voice. Even though the group has incorporated instruments such as keyboards and percussion occasionally, is the focal point of the music always the voices, who often serves as the rhythmic foundation. Valby Vokalgruppe focuses on the voices as sources of sound, who unify as much as possible in regards to timbre and intonation, og simultaneously avoids dramatic effects such as vibrato so as to distance the voice from its usual role of the "instrument of emotions" and instead retain it as a sources of sound as a keyboard would. Simultaneously is Valby Vokalgruppe engaged in creating groovy, trancelike rhythmic patterns with the voices.
Valby Vokalgruppe created in 2018 the concert "Bølger af tid og rum" (Waves of time and space) as a sequel to "Harmony of the Exopheres" from 2016, both performed at Click Festival, Helsingør. Both pieces had onset in the universe and the idea regarding the harmoni of the spheres from the antique. Valby Vokalgruppe har performed a number of festivals fx. as warmup for Laurie Anderson on Click Festival, as well on Roskilde Festival, Louisiana Literature, Arken Museum (DK), Ancienne Belgique in Bruxelles (BE), CC no. 1 Festival in Berlin (DE), Inkonst, Malmö Sommarscen, Göteborg Art Sound Festival, and Skissarnas Museum in Lund (SE).
Valby Vokalgruppe was nominated in 2012 for a "steppeulv" as "Vocalist of the Year". The members of the group are all active composers, singers, and musicians in their own right in various groups and projects such as CTM, Frk. Jacobsen, Selvhenter, Sonja LaBianca, Lil Lacy, and SOLW. Valby Vokalgruppe is currently working on a new record which will be released in 2023.
Tactical Maybe is the collective name of the sonic nexus points located between two pairs of beings known as: Halym and Nana Pi Aabo-Kim, and Louise Dam Eckardt Jensen and Tom Blancarte, whose global roots in USA, Germany, Denmark, Mexico and South Korea, combine and meet within the experimental and improvised music scenes of Denmark. Their music presents a multiverse of possibilities navigated by a quatrologue of choices informed by lives lived in a multitude of musics, resulting in a pulsating expanse of actions and non-actions, pitches and textures, sounds and space.
"If anyone is wondering what exciting free jazz in 2022 is, just open your ears and your other senses to Tactical Maybe - they sure have served up something that could be the answer to that very question." - Tor Hammerø Musikk/Fritt Frem, 2022
