SUMMARY:Surgery #1 @ KUBE

DESCRIPTION:Zen1 @ KU.BE\, Frederiksberg || 05.12.2026 || kl.20 (doors open
  at kl.19.30)\nThe first in our series of concerts that examines the conce
 rt format from a scientific perspective\, with pieces that engage with aco
 ustic phenomena\, the body and surgical precision.\nAt the core of the pro
 gramme is Ragnhild May’s new work ‘differences’ commissioned by Ear 
 Transplant. This piece features custom-made sculptural instruments that ar
 e built to create difference tones: extra notes that our ears perceive whe
 n two or more notes are played together\, even though they are not actuall
 y being produced by the instruments. \nShe writes: ‘I see difference ton
 es as an example of what could be called a prosthetic entanglement between
  body and instrument. I use this concept of relating the body to objects a
 s a way of thinking of other situations where entanglements can occur. For
  a short time the body is the instrument\, a ghost tone sings from the ear
 s and the usual logic is tilted. A way of listening that points towards an
 other understanding of relations between objects and bodies than how subje
 ct-object relations are usually defined. The relation points towards anoth
 er way of experiencing sound\, a relationality to the instrument. The conc
 ept of the cyborg\, introduced by Donna Haraway\, highlights the interconn
 ection of technology and the body\, challenging traditional notions of the
  body as a fixed and natural entity. Karen Barad's concept of entanglement
  emphasizes the interrelatedness of different entities\, including the bod
 y and technology.’Complementing this new work is Cathy Van Eck’s ‘Mu
 sic Stands’\, which reveals the sonic possibilities of an object that is
  usually seen as a purely practical vessel\, rather than one capable of ar
 tistic expression.\nIn 'Axis Spirat' by Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir\, 4 mu
 sicians surround a moving-head light fixture that mercurially casts illumi
 nated shards across the space. Long tones interweave with surgical precisi
 on\, in counterpoint with the light in a ritualistic and focussed performa
 nce. \nThe evening is completed by a semi-improvised work devised by Ear T
 ransplant's 4 core members: Matthew Grouse (e-guitar)\, Joss Smith (clarin
 ets) Jónas Ásgeir Ásgeirsson (accordion)\, and Irene Bianco (percussion
 )\n——————————————————————\nTic
