O-DENSE

O-DENSE is an improvised visual concert performed by three musicians and a video artist. The music and the moving images form poetic stories and spatial compositions inspiring the participants to pick up impulses from each other.

Proceeding from open structures, Lisa Ullén (piano) Lisen Rylander Löve (saxophone, electronics) and Emma Augustsson (cello) create dense, suggestive, yet simultaneously rhythmic soundscapes. Helene Berg (VJ) live mixes light, pigment and bubbling liquids into abstract projections that can look like a journey through internal tissues as well as through an external space.
