SET 1 NAKAMA
Agnes Hvizdalek/voice
Adrian Loseth Waade/violin
Ayumi Tanaka/piano
Andreas Wildhagen/drums
Christian Meaas Svendsen/contrabass

NAKAM is Japanese and can be translated as ‘comrade’ – or simply: a community of people where no one is above the other. The music draws influences from European Jazz and improvisation, early American contemporary music, Japanese traditional music and the harmonies of the romantic classical era. Furthermore the music intimately explores the relation between content and non-content and the possibilities of working with composed forms as a fixed musical material.

THE WHITE NOISE ORCHESTRA was initiated by contrabassist Raoul van der Weide in 2010 as an ongoing experimental project focusing on the possibilities of exploring silence as an active and instant compositional category in collective improvisation in low dynamics areas between pitch and noise. Performers included cover a wide range of musical experience ranging from classical and contemporary repertoire to free improvised music, jazz and ethno- and folkmusic.
