Konradsen – Hunt, Gatherconcert
The critically acclaimed duo Konradsen (Jenny Marie Sabel and Eirik Vildgren), their music in a special, unconventional concert format exclusive to MUNCH. Interacting with a specially created installation, the audience themselves will activate Konradsen's personal archive of hunted and gathered field recordings and sampled audio and video clips, which often appear on their albums.
During this unique concert Konradsen plus their band will present their third album Hunt, Gather, which was released on 27. March. Konradsen's music alternates between romantic, playful and sensitive – with small glimpses of reality in the form of recordings from old family videos and conversations with friends mixed with synths, piano and other instruments. The result is a complex sound world that feels both soaring and intimate at the same time.
Konradsen have performed at festivals in Norway and Europe and have been featured in international music magazines such as Pitchfork, The Line of Best Fit, Stereogum, and Clash.
As part of tonight's event, MUNCH will screen the short documentary Storfjord 1829, about the village Jenny Marie Sabel moved back to after several years in Oslo. The film is a sober depiction of everyday life in Storfjord and a quiettribute to small communities – and the people who keep them alive.
