'Branches' is a suite for recorders—tenor, alto, soprano, and sopranino—in five short movements. It was composed for the opening of Lina Viste Grønli’s exhibition 'Nye skulpturer' at Entrée, and the music responds to the work in that show: The sculptures are assemblages of branches and chewing gum that resemble wooden flutes, hence the recorders. In addition, the opening notes in the first movement are based upon the word ‘branch’ (in which, happily, the name ‘Bach’ is nested), and almost all of the pitch material in the rest of the piece is derived—branches out—from this opening figure. /Peter Child Peter Child is a composer and Professor of Music at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. The piece is performed by Patricia Michlits. Recorded by Arve Stigen/Duper Studio.

On Thursday, April 12, 2018, Andrew Taggart and Chloe Lewis walked between three points in Bergen, Norway: From Entrée to Tag Team (which took approximately thirty-one minutes), from Tag Team to Palmera (thirty-nine minutes, give or take) and from Palmera to Entrée (a shorter walk of around twelve minutes). They recorded what they heard along the way: a soundcheck for an afternoon concert, jingling keys, and joggers’ feet on gravel, to name a few examples. Somewhere in the middle, they bought three 7-inch records from a small shop. They hadn’t heard the songs before, or heard of the musicians, but the records’ graphic paper sleeves, displaying shapes and lines in geometric configurations, looked a lot like walking paths, or winding routes on a map. For their contribution to Orienteering, a group exhibition in public space produced by Entrée, Palmera, and Tag Team, Lewis & Taggart offer three soundscapes—one for each stretch of the walk connecting the three galleries—composed by blending their in-situ recordings with audio sampled from the vinyl singles.

In our third episode in this series, we feature artists Stine Janvin Motland, Kususm Normoyle and Mette Rasmussen in a live recording from Bergen Kunsthall. Combining a panel discussion and live performances, this episode explores how the artists find and continue to search for their sound, the use of the body to create these sounds, the materiality of sound, and the nature of collaboration. The episode is presented in the playlist below where you will also find full recordings of the evening's performances—Stine Janvin Motland's presentation of Fake Synthetic Music, an exercise imitating an electronic instrument, and Kusum Normoyle and Mette Rasmussen's premiere improvisational performance, a culmination showcasing their two week journey through the Norwegian landscape.
This live recording from Australian noise and installation artist Kusum Normoyle together with experimental saxophonist Mette Rasmussen, is a culminating event to their collaborative project which recently took them through Norwegian landscapes where they performed a series of improvisations by fjords, waterfalls and atop mountain ranges. This was recorded at Landmark, Bergen on the 10th August, 2016
'Fake Synthetic Music' is Motland's new project: an anti-glorification of the voice—a technical exercise and game that challenges the perception between the fake and real. Approaching the intimate and human aspects of the voice, this work presents a minimal and insisting imitation of synthetic sequences inspired by early electronic music and the deconstructed rave. This performance was recorded live at Landmark, 10th August, 2016.
Since first meeting Tori during her performance of YES NIX, Tori has continued to open my ears to the different ways in which you can perceive, make and think about sound. In making her performances, she transports people into fantasy worlds employing intricate costumes, made up language, her incredibly trained and dynamic voice, as well as other theatrical devices. In this episode, Tori shares with us everything from rough vocal sketches, to performance documentation, as well as an in-depth explanation of recent performances at Transart in Bonzano Italy last September as well as her solo show at Project Space 1646 in the Hague, in the Netherlands. Passionate about idea of moving sound and creating architecture and sculpture with sound, Tori explains the importance these tools in her practice and why we want to look upwards and outwards.

This summer I ventured to Kvalnes in the north of Norway to visit Thora in her mother's studio to talk about her unique approach to art making. Dancing between film, photographic images and sound, Thora seems to experience the world with her eyes wide open–constantly capturing the narratives immediately around her. Helping shape the direction of the series, we decided that there sound be more focus on experimentation rather than creating without an end goal. Thora shared her current investigations into radio plays, hiked mountain tops to record rocks and natural reverb, and discussed the surreal contrast of city life with the silence of the Arctic. Some of these explorations into sound are covered here in an interview staged in early September 2015, with recordings and sketches further developed for an exhibition curated by Thora at the Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival in Xiamen in November 2015. http://entreeradio.com/episode-1-playing-in-nature/
