Underskog

First, the fragrance of straw. Walk past photographs of ancient kerbstones. Enter a low passageway roofed with branches. Drawn by the glow of a translucent veil at its end, step into a tall, circular chamber. A glowing column of white particles falls from the ceiling, forming a mound on the floor that increases over the run of the installation. Above the faint whisper of the salt fall, the sound of children´s voices in may languages comes and goes. Stand here, or sit on the straw bales around the periphery of the room. Call up private memories; speak the names of children or others you wish to recall. After exiting, you may write a name or message on a card provided and place it in a niche in the straw bale wall.

”Dance with a Stranger” er et av Norges mest populære band gjennom tidene og har solgt over en million album. Under årets Olsenfestival opptrer de for første gang sammen med Marinemusikkens storband. I tillegg har de invitert med seg sangerinnen Kim Fairchild og gitaristen Knut Reiersrud.

Det blir fullt trøkk denne lørdagskvelden med klassikere som ”Everyone needs a friend”, ”Invisible man”, ”African Road” og ”Only love”. I tillegg får du musikken servert i helt nye omgivelser, Høymagasinet på Akershus festning. Lars Erik Gudim arrangerer og dirigerer.

…

På Høymagasinet er det denne kvelden klart for stor spennvidde musikalsk, fra norsk folkemusikk, via Sør-Afrika, til musikk inspirert fra den asiatiske verdensdel nær Pakistan og Afghanistan. Når alt smelter sammen mot slutten av kvelden i en fellesopptreden under ledelse og komposisjon av Hildegunn Øiseth, så ønsker vi en gang for alle å bekrefte at musikk er et språk uten grenser.
