インアー・シャルフ (Inger Scharff) & メリ・コチ (Merih Koç)
Visual artists Inger Scharff and Merih Koç are contributing to the venue with the space-specific piece “Gate”. The duo is concerned with human’s penchant for self-editing and fear of banalities and clichés. However, what seems banal often appears more complex and nuanced when we take a closer look.
The “GATE” consists of two fraternal sculptures that reflect each other. They have been formed so that they fit together. Their shapes depend on each other.They part from each other but they also belong together. Like culture to culture, people to people and artist/performer to audience/observer.
Through attention and honesty in the process the artists wanted to explore how they realized their ideas. The piece has been created with a point of no return attitude that resembles musicians playing a concert. Like musicians and audience always prepare, the artist have prepared in terms of materials,
dimensions, idioms and position in the room. After the preparations the piece was created in one improvisational take. The sculptures’ fragmented idiom is inspired by the structure of classical busts and sporadically applied gold leafs, not to cover but to frame and emphasize the process. Placed on each side of the stage, they are creating an illusion of a gate to the experience (the picture above shows the models).

Andreas Schulenburg (1975) was born in Germany and was later educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.

Artist Information:
Simon Toldam Trio
Embracing the classic piano trio format, Simon Toldam Trio marks those little eternities when we forget who we are, and does so with a palette of tones and rhythms that take the trio from avant-garde to ballads and from mysterious tinkling to jubilant swings. It is one of the most acclaimed and versatile trios with a cross-Scandinavian set-up with Norwegian drummer Knut Finsrud, Danish bass player Nils Davidsen and pianist/composer Simon Toldam. To this concert the trio will present brand new compositions as well as old timers from their 3 acclaimed albums - all of which have been nominated for Danish Grammy Awards.

Illdjinn
In his one man performance, Illdjinn, the moniker of Mads Pind Forsby, explores the transformative and physical energy of the drum, as an instrument and a media for trance. He draws on influences from musique concrète, techno and ritualistic folklore, and this results in a very unorthodox and interesting approach to improvisation. The explorative universe of Illdjinn has been praised all over the world. The debut album was released in October 2014, and a sequel is currently produced. Mads Pind Forsby also plays in Fire! Orchestra, Frisk Frugt among others.

Yarayawa
Since they kept on meeting each other in different contexts and locations the present musicians decided to start a creative relationship to explore their common passion for improvisational music with a cosmic bursting feel and spiral instrumentations. This became the start of YARAYAWA: a explorative Danish/Japanese mixed band project. The always on-going search for the surprising, uplifting and disturbing new sounds in improvised music, is one of the main reason why YARAYAWA invite new visionary people to play with them when touring. The concert in SuperDeluxe will present the band as a trio, with guest starring from Mads Pind Forsby / Ildjinn, substituting Japanese Muneomi Senju on the drums.
