3 February 2024 • Dokkhuset • Trondheim, Norway
NTNU Research concert: Music in landscape, and landscape in music
NTNU Forskningskonsert: Musikk i landskap og landskap i musikk
Dokkhuset, lørdag 3. februar kl. 14
Medvirkende:
Tore Størvold
Kim Arvid Leon Tran
Ellen Lindquist
Viktor Gosvali Wilhelmsen
Mennesker rundt omkring i verden tar i bruk musikk for å gi mening til landskapene de lever i, og for å forstå de økologiske systemene som de er en del av. Samtidig kan musikk tas i bruk som miljøpolitisk ytring, og som et redskap for å håndtere og bearbeide vanskelige følelser knyttet til klimaendringer og tap av naturmangfold. I møte med krisen som preger vår samtid har mange komponister og musikere begynt å tenke nytt: de skaper ny musikk for å finne nye musikalske veier inn til naturen.
Denne lørdagen på Dokkhuset møter vi komponist Ellen Lindquist og gitar-joiker Viktor Govasli Wilhelmsen. Begge arbeider med musikk, sted, og landskap på ulike vis. Lindquist og Wilhelmsen spiller og snakker om sin musikk sammen med forskere i økomusikkvitenskap, Tore Størvold og Kim Arvid Leon Tran. Sammen skal de prøve å finne ut hva vi kan lære av å arbeide musikalsk og kunstnerisk med ulike landskap. Kan musikken vise oss vei til mer bærekraftige måter å leve i og med naturen på?
Konserten har gratis inngang.

Fem Elementer/Five Elements
Fire komponister. Ett ensemble.
Fem elementer!
Til dette prosjektet har SiTron bestilt fire verk av fire forskjellige komponister. Alle komponistene er bosatt i Trøndelag, og representerer ulike musikalske ståsteder.
Konseptet spiller på de fire elementene ild, luft, jord og vann, og hver komponist er tildelt et element til å la seg inspirere av i vid forstand. I tråd med japansk filosofi er det også involvert et femte element; void. Void kan sees på som en energi, en kreativitet eller en samlende kraft, som i denne sammenhengen representeres av SiTron.
Ild: Eva Holm Foosnæs
Luft: Ola Kvernberg
Jord: Ellen Lindquist
Vann: Eirik Hegdal
Void: SiTron
Commissioned with support from Arts Council Norway.
