Enjoy an updated overview of what we do. And – do join our newsletter below, in case you want the occasional input on our activities.
We are working on our lates project, Presque Rien, for ensemble and electronics. It is based on field recordings and instrumental recordings from outdoor performances at Veierland, a small roadless island outside Tønsberg, Norway. Changing sonic scenarios are captured and manipulated live, woven into the subtle performance of the four instrumentalists. Check out an excerpt available here ->
Presque rien !!
LEMUR return to Glasgow to lead this year’s Cramb Residency, in conjunction with Nordic Music Days.
During their time at the University from the 8-9 May 2024 , they will perform in the University Chapel on Wednesday 8 May and host an open workshop and discussion on Thursday 9 May
On Wednesday 8 May, they will perform twice – joining the end of Kevin Bowyer’s organ recital (6pm) before, after a short break, their own set at 7.30pm.
On the afternoon of Thursday 9 May, they will take over the music building at 14 University Gardens for a discussion of their work, followed by a short break and some site-specific workshops in different parts of the building.
Lemur teams up with Caput Ensemble for the premiere of Critical Bands!
The performance is part of the Erkiti∂ festival in Reykjavik.
Lemur and Friends will perform in Sasha Waltz / Terri Riley’s In C, a choreographic continuation of the democratic principles of this minimalist score. Sasha Waltz has transferred the concept to dance, creating 53 movement phrases for use in a structured improvisation with clear rules, echoing the structure of the musical score.
Finally time to premiere our three-part marathon piece: Symphonie magnetophoniqe starts at 9 o’clock at Nationaltheateret metro station, continues at noon on Wessels plass, before culminating in Marmorsalen, Sentralens biggest concert hall.
Plateslipp og konsert
Majorstuen kirke
Lørdag 5. mars kl 14.00
Mellom 2007 og 2012 utforska Lemur kyrkjekonserten som format gjennom konsertar i Tyskland, Storbritannia og Norge. Kyrkjerommet sin særeigne akustikk var både inspirasjon og utfordring: Korleis utnytte dei klanglege kvalitetane i eit kyrkjerom? Korleis presentere abstrakt kunstmusikk i eit religiøst lada rom? Dette langsiktige arbeidet leda fram til plata “Parish of Lemur” og urframføringa av den stedsspesifikke komposisjonen Critical Band i Nidarosdomen.
På plata er tre av disse kyrkjene representerte:
Hamar Domkirke,
Nidarosdomen og
Grefsen kirke.
