Hope to see you there!

On June 13 we pack the ebows, guitars and flutes and cross the country heading for Örebro and a festival arranged by Musikspektra T, an association for electronic and electro acoustic music. By then, a new version of Gradation will be developed – Gradation 2.0 – that we happily share with you in the movie theatre at time-honoured Bio Roxy (100 years in 2013)!

Tuesdays performance together with flautist Anna Melander became as experimental and improvised as we wished. Here are some pictures from our experience at Viva Las Palmas. A special thanks to our friends Nils Berg, Josef Kallerdahl and Viktor Skokic who invited us to play at their fantastic event, and a warm thanks to Strapelia Asterias for making a beautiful shadow play behind us!

In collaboration with Ragnhei∂ur Sigur∂adóttir Bjarnarson a.k.a Eylíf, we – Laurna Røde –  made a fantastic tour around the whole island of Iceland. These are some pictures from one of our performances in Höfn.

Thanks to all of our audience in Höfn, Egilsta∂ir and Reykjavik in Iceland! We are so happy that you all took us with open arms. This trip will be remembered for lots of things. One is the very interesting work in progress with Ragnhei∂ur Sigurðardóttir Bjarnarson that me and David – Laurna Røde – experienced during the whole trip. Another is the presence of potential eruptions of the Bar∂arbunga glacier volcanos. Very inspiring for us as a drone duo. Laurna Røde can´t wait to go back!

About the event

Link to Black Box Teater

At this special occasion Laurna Røde (Helena Persson and David Sabel) works with the sound of the water as a drone, using e-bows and guitars. The duo carves out a soundscape from silence and chaos, an intense and at the same time peaceful sound experience where frequencies and harmonies are in focus.

May 9 and 11, 2013, sound installation and live performance with David Sabel at Verona Risuona festival, Verona, Italy.

This Saturday, the streets of Verona City were filled with performances, installations and artists. This is a shot from Porta Borsari where you could hear the sounds from steel stringed acoustic guitars played with e-bows along with a soundscape recorded in Verona. Luckily we also had a nice live soundscape from the people, walls and surroundings of the space we played in.

Performers in this clip: David Sabel and Helena Persson.
