Sami Music with VAJAS
SÁMI MUSIC WITH VAJAS
Tuesday, October 25, 7:30 pm at Scandinavia House
$15 ($10 American-Scandinavian Foundation members)
VAJAS (Echo) presents a synergy of arctic voices and sound: the traditional Sámi yoiks of Ánde Somby emanating from the distant tundra; the entrancing violin stylings and melodic voice of Kristin Mellem; and the renowned and captivating synthesizer sound voyages of Nils Johansen. The group calls the arctic city of Tromsø in northern Norway home. Ánde Somby, in addition to being a famous Sámi traditional yoiker, is also a well-known legal scholar and indigenous rights activist. Kristen Mellem is a classically trained violinist and composer who currently works with folk music, yoiking and community theatre. The contemporary musician and composer Nils Johansen was the music mastermind of the internationally celebrated group Bel Canto.

Project One, in collaboration with Issue Project Room, presents The Aura Electric, Opus Three, featuring the Mat Maneri / Randy Petersen Duo—two of the most innovative and distinctive artists on the downtown improvised scene—and the Project One Ensemble performing works for electric string quartet (George Crumb’s Black Angels and a world premiere by Michael Spassov). Opus Three will take place on Saturday, November 19, 2005 at 7:00 pm at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn. The Aura Electric, Opus Three explores the sound worlds of amplified strings by juxtaposing different approaches to composed and improvised ‘electric chamber music’. The relationship between composed and improvised music as well as the role of technology in music will be expanded through a discussion with the artists and audience and in a program essay whose departure point is Walter Benjamin’s concept of the aura of a work of art.
