KALLELSE #12

with Ignacio Córdoba (ES/DK), Emil Keller Skousen (DK), Tintin Patrone (PH/DE)

Kallelse concludes it’s fall season of continuous explorations, this time with a lineup of wearable drone percussion, a violin-playing machine and an existential tale of a robotic goat looking for belonging

With Ignacio Córdoba (ES/DK), Emil Keller Skousen (DK) and Tintin Patrone (PH/DE)

The artists of the evening introduce themselves as follows:

IGNACIO CÓRDOBA (ES/DK):
”Ignacio Córdoba is a small person from a small village in the mountains of Madrid (Spain). An improviser and composer who moved to Copenhagen in 2017 and quickly became a very active and sought-after player in the Danish Jazz and Improv scene because of his heterodox approach to music and his personal and passionate way of performing improvising. His musical journey has turned him into a shaman mistaken for a scientist, an engineer of his own confusion and an apprentice devoted to the craft of being lost. He makes Magic with Electricity. He creates electronic music that blends sound-art, drone and experimentation with instruments that he invents and builds himself, like The Box (a repurposed vintage industrial oscillator machine) or The Quad-rod-phone.
The Quad-rod-phone is a brand new instrument invented and designed in collaboration with Dutch instrument inventor Yuri Landman, the crazy artist responsible for the craziest instruments of Sonic Youth, Liars, Half Japanese and many more. It was built in its current form by Danish luthier Jens Erik Larsen. They brought to life Ignacio’s dream of the quadraphonic electric percussive sound of four sliding metal rods that defy the physics of any bell, bow or heart-beat. It command rooms to bend and breathe and blow with droning resonance.”

EMIL KELLER SKOUSEN (DK):
”In my performances, I work with sound that comes from fabricated and found, modified instruments and objects, tools and effect pedals. I’m looking for an expression that – like an Iron Maiden show – is at once epic and absurd. The visual part of my live performances is important and I continuously make and add different props to my shows.
My latest performance is a cover of Nelly Furtado’s hit ”I’m Like a Bird” (2000). A Casio CTK-800 midi keyboard I found in a container plays a distorted version of the track at 30 bpm, which, together with a drone synth and various modulation effects, forms a soundscape. On top of this, a homemade bootleg-animatronics-skeleton arm plays a partially broken violin. The skeleton arm, which is driven by a reciprocating saw, is attempted to be controlled by the use of a modified power supply, as well as different resistance – i.a. in the form of metal blocks.”

TINTIN PATRONE (PH/DE):
Tintin Patrone is a German-Filipino Sound- and Performance artist. She is captivated by the exploration of interconnections among music, art, sound, and experimental forms of expression. Her creative works revolve around the visual aspects of music and the ways in which personal and societal connections are established with it.
The performance combines art and technology by presenting Tintin Patrone’s live music alongside evoc- ative projections from the memory bank of a robot goat. These images delve into the depths of loneliness and the aching longing for lost relationships. Caprizaen serves as an examination of idealized rural life and is inspired by the timeless wisdom contained in the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales and Aesop’s fables. The film confronts the intersection of tradition and progress through these narratives, using a recurring motif of camouflage and reflections to highlight the complexities of rural existence. Set against the harsh backdrop of Samothrace, a Greek island marked by an overpopulation of goats, where the echo of goat bleating resonates louder than human voices, Caprizaen ventures into uncharted narrative waters. Using the me- chanical gaze of the robot goat and the bird’s eye view of a drone disguised as a pigeon, the performers transcend boundaries between bodies and species. In this immersive experience, viewers are invited to delve into the multifaceted interplay of human emotions and social dynamics. Through the dialogue be- tween machine and goat, musician and animal, they are encouraged to admire the fragile balance between loneliness and collective identity, tradition and progress.
