Vi er så heldige å få en ekstrakonsert med BJNilsen og Hildur Gudnadóttir, som er i Bergen for å spille til en ny forestilling på Carte Blanche.BJNilsen burde være kjent for de fleste og har gjestet Bergen flere ganger, sist med Chris Watson i forbindelse med fremføringen av STORM i høst. På Lydgalleriet gleder vi oss til en oktofonisk intimutgave av BJNilsens feltopptak og Hildurs cello-loops og delikate klangbehandling.

At Lydgalleriet we are looking forward to an octoponic intimate version of BJNilsen's field recording and Hildur's cello loops and delicate sound processing.
