Gebrokken takes you on a sound journey by a train departing from Tøyen station. You will receive earphones prior to the train ride and listen to a mix of electroacoustic composition and spoken word in a broken language about Norwegian-ness. Upon arrival at Movatn, you can take part in an unusual encounter with a forest dweller. A forest dweller and guide will lead the way to the train and into Nordmarka.
Directed by Arturo Tovar with music by Cisser Mæhl and Jenny Berger Myhre.

Makda Embaie: Now, that we've been together

In this langual sound installation, Makda Embaie will explore the body as an archaeological container. We all contain a linguistic repertoire shaped by our experience and memories which upon closer inspection, can illuminate various layers. You may listen to the installation through pillows placed upon a soft carpet.

Workshop: Wireless Imagination
Registration required here Limited capacity.

Venus Ex Machina leads a hands-on workshop where you can build your own radio transmitter. In this DIY exercise, we will discuss the notions of imagination and private versus public space.

The workshop is in English.

15-18:30 Gamle Munch / Kaféen
Dep.artment: gOURmet Community Kitchen

Dep.artment presents gOURmet, a pop-up community kitchen where you can cook and improvise collectively. By sourcing from supermarkets’ leftover produce aisles, both free and donated, we aim towards a zero-waste kitchen. We will make starters and sides, resembling the tapas or meze. Learn how all kinds of foods can fuse through improvisation.
We encourage you to bring ingredients from home.

Lag mat og improviser i fellesskap i dette pop-up-kjøkkenet med Dep.artment. Dep-artment benytter frukt og grønnsaker som ellers ville blitt kastet etter zero waste-prinsippet. Det skal lages forretter og tilbehør i tapas- og meze-stil. Med improvisering kan all slags mat harmonere! Ta gjerne med ingredienser hjemmefra.

16.30-17.00 Gamle Munch / Kaféen
Performance: Andrei van Wyk

A work-in-progress piece, involving affected voice, pedals, samplers and laptop. Curated and facilitated by Nuts and Bolts.

EVENING CONCERTS & AFTER PARTY

19-02:00 Gamle Munch
Age: +18

19:00 Gamle Munch / Foredragssalen
Venus Ex Machina
Informed by the binary world of mathematics and machines, Venus Ex Machina will enter a way more boundless and mythical world filled with dark and dance-y textures.

20:00 Gamle Munch / Foredragssalen
Viktor Bomstad & Ruhail Qaisar
This noise-centered collaboration springs from an unlikely connection to the precarious borderlands of indigenous Sámi ground and the mountain passes of India. With Qaisar’s crude pedal effects and Bomstad’s joiking against a backdrop of heavy amps, a rare kind of sonic friction will emerge on stage.

21:00
Gamle Munch / Foredragssalen
Mohammad Reza Mortazavi
The Iranian-born and Berlin-based solo-percussionist has reinvented hand drumming. Switching between concentration and letting go, quite literally, Mortazavi uses his body as a sonic guiding force. His rhythmic beats, infused with ancient and modern influences, transcends traditional techniques.

22-01:00 Gamle Munch / Kaféen
Ultima Afterparty with Amuleto Manuela, NAGAVER, ASDFGHJKL
Vibe through the night with back-to-back DJs in Ultima’s official afterparty. With Amuleto Manuela’s process-based soundscapes, NAGAVER’s mix of Tamil folk music, and ASDFGHJKL’s eclectic-electronic mixtures, you can travel through a wide array of moods and spaces in the margins.

All events are free.
