Gathered Resonances is a residency in Public Art Norway’s project STUDIO at KMD, UiB’s Faculty for Art, Music, and Design. STUDIO explores studio practices, workspaces, and work processes in fine art, music, and design, curated by Hild Borchgrevink and Merete Røstad.

Bergen Fremtidsmusikk is a new organization initiating and engaging in artistic research to promote forward-thinking approaches to music. Operating on the borders of academia and the fields of independent music and art, they promote meaningful exchanges where both can grow toward an exciting musical future.

How do musicians compose, improvise, reflect, and collaborate when developing a concert?

Bergen Fremtidsmusikk:
Tijs Ham - Cello & Electronics
Stephan Meidell - Guitar & Electronics
Kjetil Møster - Saxophone & Electronics

shares sound and practices with:
Késia Decoté - Piano & Toy Piano
Alwynne Pritchard - Voice
Inga Margrete Aas - Double Bass

Together, they spent two days playing, experimenting, reflecting, and discussing what this concert would eventually become. The experiments, improvisations, discussions, tryouts, and concerts will be recorded and shared through a publication documenting STUDIO’s activities by the end of 2024.
