VINTERJAZZ

Hunden er løs! On Dog præsenterer et stærkt trans-europæisk projekt startet og ledet af Francesco Bigoni og Mark Solborg. Ensemblet består af en unik kombination af originale og efterspurgte musikere fra Italien, Danmark og Luxemborg med nutidig musik i kufferten.

Sammen og hver for sig har medlemmerne optrådt og indspillet med så prominente navne som Evan Parker, Gianluca Petrella, Enrico Rava, Stefano Battaglia, Greg Cohen, Jim Black, Axel Dörner, AACM, Herb Robertson, Chris Speed, Paal Nilssen-Love, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Hank Roberts, Bobby Previte og mange andre.

Musikken er grundlæggende et studie i kontrapunkt og polyfoni i en åben form, der i høj grad tillader improvisationer, fortolkninger og input fra alle medvirkende musikere.

I løbet af sine første tre leveår har On Dog modtaget stor anerkendelse fra publikum og anmeldere. Med Paolo Carradori’s ord (Il Giornale della Musica, Italy): “Live, a few steps from the musicians, the polyphonic richness of the group is better perceived, as well as its ability to develop a music which is meticulous, written, dynamic, always open and full of suggestions. Music that moves from elegant counterpoints to sophisticated sonic visions, from almost silence to collective paroxysms and energetic, colourful abstract regions”.
Fra Norge: “(…) the clarinet of Bigoni floats through a fragile veil of sound and destills a truly adventurous epos of profoundly moving beauty. The music grows with every replay and confirms the quintet ON DOG as a new refreshing band with an original sound, based on mesmerizing, polyfonic contemporary melody – dancing in complex rhythms. Bravo!”- Bjarne Søltoft, Jazznytt.

Solborg og Bigoni kender Koncertkirkens fantastiske rum særdeles godt og aftenens repertoire vil blive sammensat og nykomponeret specielt til lejligheden – med henblik på indspilning og udgivelse af gruppens tredje album i efteråret 2016.

ENGLISH:

The Dog is Loose !
On Dog is a trans-European project, started and led by Francesco Bigoni and Mark Solborg. It presents a unique selection of original, sought-after musicians from Italy, Denmark and Luxembourg playing new contemporary music with an edge.

Together and invidually the members of On Dog have played and recorded with such prominent artists as Evan Parker, Gianluca Petrella, Enrico Rava, Stefano Battaglia, Greg Cohen, Jim Black, Axel Dörner, AACM, Herb Robertson, Chris Speed, Paal Nilssen-Love, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Hank Roberts, Bobby Previte and many others.

Musically speaking, it is essentially a study on counterpoint and polyphony which allows the performers (all composers and free improvisers) to be confronted by through-composed pieces.

In its first three years of activity, On Dog has built up a wide recognition by audience and critics. In the words of Paolo Carradori (Il Giornale della Musica, Italy): “live, a few steps from the musicians, the polyphonic richness of the group is better perceived, as well as its ability to develop a music which is meticulous, written, dynamic, always open and full of suggestions. Music that moves from elegant counterpoints to sophisticated sonic visions, from almost silence to collective paroxysms and energetic, colourful abstract regions”. From Norway:
“..the clarinet of Bigoni floats through a fragile veil of sound and destills a truly adventurous epos of profoundly moving beauty. The music grows with every replay and confirms the quintet ON DOG as a new refreshing band with an original sound, based on mesmerizing, polyfonic contemporary melody – dancing in complex rhythms. Bravo !”- Bjarne Søltoft, Jazznytt.

As Solborg and Bigoni are well acquainted with the room sound of Koncertkirken, the music for this set will be conceived specifically for this unusually beautiful sound space. This will part of a concert series which will be re-elaborated in a following recording session, aiming for the release of a third album in the fall of 2016.
