Our distinguished artist in residence in february is none other than the incredible sax, flute, taragot player and composer Morten Carlsen
Its nearly impossible to sum up the carreer of the great Morten Carlsen.
He has simply been a defining voice of Scandinavian creative music for decades.. Throughout his working life he has focused on sound: Concrete sound, synthetic, electronic sound and many different kinds of music. The starting point was the clarinet, saxophone and jazz, free improvisation, folk music from Africa and the East. Later, new music and sound art, both as musician and composer. As improvisor he possesses an extraordinary sharpness and a strong presence which unfolds in an excellent instrument technique. Member of the New Jungle Orchestra 1981 - 2014, he has toured most of the world and collaborated with musicians from China, Vietnam, Bali, Mongolia, Africa and the US. He has been teaching at music academies and institutes for electroacoustics in Denmark and abroad and participated in hundreds of releases. In 2014 he started as lecturer in performance and ethnomusicology at the Department of Arts and Cultural Studies of Copenhagen University....

Yes! Its the Monday Band at 7pm each monday until the end of time. The Monday Band was formed to focus on playing improvised music in a large ensemble and draws its members from the large vibrant group of improvisers in town and passing through. The idea is to have a international band with a open constellation which connects the improvising scene in Copenhagen and performs every week. The band will play minimal compositions, improvising concepts and graphic scores composed and arranged by the members of the band. the band will have a flexible lineup each week but with a core group of artists consistently there. Copenhagen has long needed a place where a steady workshop band could experiment with improvising in a large ensemble and the Monday Club is the place to do it so welcome to THE MONDAY BAND!
20 Abelseth/McCormick
Anders Abelseth (NO) - saxophones
Mike McCormick (CAN) - laptop
Abelseth/McCormick is an improvising laptop and saxophone duo based in Oslo, Norway. Combining real-time synthesis and processing with pre-recorded samples, field recordings, and Abelseth's virtuosic approach to the saxophone, these two instrumentalists are equally comfortable exploring meditative drones and erupting into frenzied episodes.
kl 21 Morten Carlsens Senior Service
Niels Flipper Stuart - sax/flute
Kim Menzer - trombone, flutes, mouthorgan and digeridoo
Morten Carlsen - sax
Peter Ingemann- bass

Peter ingemann is a rocklegend, loved for his work with Young Flowers, Skousen & Ingemann, Kim Larsen og Bellami, Rรธde Mor and Stig Mรธller but with a background as a free improviser, subbing in The Contemporary Jazz Quintet with Hugh Steinmetz, Niels Harrit and Franz Beckerlee.
kl 22 Ytterlandet

A monster trio of some of the most reliable improvisers in town. Alle are masters at their craft and this is not to be missed.
23 Ole Mofjell / Jon Libscomb duo
Jon Libscomb - guitar
Ole Mofjell - drums
Harsh meeting between Malmรถs heaviest reality check of the 2000s and Mandagsklubbens second most represented drummer. Jon Lipscomb has moved from the great USA to Malmรถ and is making the Swedish improvising scene tremble. Super heavy guitar player with a million tricks up his sleeve. Ole Mofjell is a Mandagsklubben regular performer who does it all. A little of this and A LOT of THAT!

Mikkel Mark has something to tell you.
