Award-winning and internationally renowned North Jutland musician Kenneth Dahl Knudsen takes old musical traditions in new directions - in a powerful sextet with references to classical music, modern jazz and the music's deep roots.
Whether in a smoky basement in Morocco, a shack on the Greenland Ice Sheet or a jazz club in Tokyo, Kenneth Dahl Knudsen has a personal and artistic mission to create the music of the future and place it at the heart of human tradition and culture.
Based in North Jutland, he blends ancient musical traditions and their contemporary agents - with the thoroughness of the composer, the ferocity of the jazz musician and the endless curiosity of the anthropologist.
THE ATLAS ENSEMBLE
With his new sextet, Knudsen has joined forces with a range of fantastic musicians who have their roots in different traditions. Outstanding oud (a traditional Middle Eastern stringed instrument) virtuoso Wassim Mukdad is deeply rooted in Syrian classical music, while duduk (a traditional flute) player Ertan Tekin is a compelling mediator of traditional Kurdish music and culture. Israeli jazz pianist Eyal Lovett has a fondness for Bach's fugues and succeeds in constructing architectural soundscapes of Jerusalem with its busy and chaotic scented streets. Further north we find the Ukrainian folk singer Ganna Gryniva, which brings Eastern European folklore into a modern electronic universe with a special wildness. The ensemble is completed by the Romanian violist Marius Ungureanu , who works both as a Transylvanian folk musician and as a soloist in major European symphony orchestras.
TRADITIONS AND NORDIC MELANCHOLY
You can expect a concert that explores the traditional roots of music, the precision of compositional music and the experimental detours of jazz. Either way, the stage is set for a beautiful, poetic and melancholic experience.
GAFFA.dk rated Kenneth Dahl Knudsen's latest album "Uummat" with 5/6 stars: "There is not the slightest doubt that Kenneth Dahl Knudsen was inspired; that he has something on his mind; or that he has the talent to do the Inspiration, to release the heart and the artistic ambition. The music is like the vastness, like whiteness and horizons. One moment sad, melancholy. The next moment violently haunting, almost stressful. Constantly relevant. Poignant. Indispensable."
