APOLLONIAN BLACKOUT at Vinterjazz at Sort/hvid

A set table. Rhythmic heartbeats. A transcending electronic pulse. Earthy scents. The room is blurred. Everything feels soft. Now, the master of the ceremony steps forward. Someone is chanting. You are connected to everyone. And now you shall die. To be reborn.

APOLLONIAN BLACKOUT is a musical experience, mixing concert, installation, and performance. With inspiration from myths, rituals and traditions, participants are invited on a trance-like trip that examines and challenges the relationship between music, musicians, and audience.

A set table. Rhythmic heartbeats. A transcending electronic pulse. Earthy scents. The room is blurred. Everything feels soft. Now, the master of the ceremony steps forward. Someone is chanting. You are connected to everyone. And now you shall die. To be reborn.

APOLLONIAN BLACKOUT is a musical experience, mixing concert, installation, and performance. With inspiration from myths, rituals and traditions, participants are invited on a trance-like trip that examines and challenges the relationship between music, musicians, and audience. The sound image is build up in mix of electronic and acoustic sounds. It is repetitive; a piece of melody is turned, slowly varied, and sent into a circuit.

The focal point of Apollonian Blackout is the transatlantic ensemble Hess Is More, led by the Danish multi-instrumentalist Mikkel Hess. The musical experience is staged by Mikkel Hess, Tue Biering, Christian Friedländer and Dicki Lakha. The costumes are designed by the renowned Danish designer Henrik Vibskov.

A co-production between Sort/Hvid, Kaja MANGEMENT and Hess Is More

Et dækket bord. Rytmiske hjerteslag. Et transcenderende beat. Her dufter af jord. Rummets grænser er udviskede. Alt føles blødt. Nu træder ceremonimesteren frem. Nogen chanter. Du er ét med alle. Og nu skal du dø. For at genfødes.

APOLLONIAN BLACKOUT er et konstant udviklende musikalsk live-værk. En totaloplevelse, der forener koncert, installation og performance. Med inspiration fra myter, ritualer og traditioner inviteres deltagerne med på en trancelignende rejse, som udfordrer forholdet mellem musik, musikere og publikum. Lydbilledet er bygget op af en blanding af elektroniske og akustiske lyde. Det er repetitivt; en lille melodistump, der varieres, drejes og sendes i kredsløb.

APOLLONIAN BLACKOUT har det transatlantiske ensemble Hess Is More, med den danske multi-instrumentalist Mikkel Hess i spidsen, som omdrejningspunkt. Den musikalske oplevelse iscenesættes af Mikkel Hess, Tue Biering, Christian Friedländer, Dicki Lakha, mens kostumerne skabes af designer Henrik Vibskov.

I dette værk videreudvikler Hess is More deres succesfulde installatoriske koncertformat Apollonian Circles, som har været opført for fulde sale på blandt andet Kunsthal Charlottenborg. Hess Is More er et evigt voksende ensemble af medlemmer fra København og New York, der varierer og udvides fra projekt til projekt.

Præsenteres i samarbejde mellem Sort/Hvid, Kaja MANAGEMENT og Hess Is More.
