Sunkissed Live presents Fresh Air
'Celebrating a hundred years of free air'.
The Centenary of Norway’s Independence.
Thursday 3rd March at Fabric in London
Sunkissed Live reclocates to London for a one off bamboozle to
celebrate a hundred years of Norwegian independence. Or more potently
the explosion of Norwegian underground music in the last decade and
some. Taking over all three rooms at the world renowned club Fabric
with 30 acts covering jazz, electronica jazz and house it will be one
of the biggest gatherings of Norwegian acts outside Norway ever.
As in previous years Sunkissed Live will be recorded for Paul Thomas’ One World show on BBC Radio 1. Though expect some of the artists to pop up other places on the station too.

Biosphere in Wellington, New Zealand
Mayhem Music in association with the Music Information Center (Norway) presents
BIOSPHERE IN WELLINGTON FRIDAY 18 AND SATURDAY 19 MARCH 2005
As part of his southern hemisphere tour, Norwegian sound artist Geir Jenssen (Biosphere), joins Wellington´s While You Were Sleeping electronic music collective for two nights of eclectic electronic entertainment at the Adam Concert Room, Victoria University.
Friday night sees Biosphere headline with support from local artist Andrew Thomas. This concert will feature original material from Biosphere´s repertoire spanning some 14 years from his early releases on R&S Records through to more recent material on Touch Records UK.
Wellington´s own Andrew Thomas, recently signed to Kompakt (Koeln, Germany), will provide the natural support to Biosphere with his equally beautiful ambient explorations.
Saturday night Wellington´s While You Were Sleeping electronic music collective presents the Catchpool Found Sound Project. Utilising environmental field recordings, from native bird song to wind in the trees, Victoria University electro-acoustic students captured the sounds of Wellington´s Catchpool Valley recreation area. These recordings have been passed onto a myriad of electronic musician composers who in turn have used these sounds to create an eclectic mix of musical offerings composed entirely from these sound recordings. Biosphere will headline this event with his translation of these field recordings.
Tickets to each event are $20 (plus booking fee) available from Real Groovy. Door sales on the evening of performance are $25. Doors open at 9.00pm on Friday, 8.00pm on Saturday.

Biosphere
Von
Brasilien nach Norwegen – vom Lärm der Favelas zur Ruhe der Natur.
Biosphere wohnt jenseits des Polarkreises, weit entfernt vom urbanen
Zentrum Oslo. Die endlose Weite der norwegischen Landschaft, das
hört
man Biospheres Musik an. Visuelle Begleitung beim Konzert: Bilder des
Künstlers Egbert Mittelstädt, die perfekt mit Biospheres
Klängen
zusammenspielen. Biospheres Musik ist Soundtrack zur Umgebung und nicht
ihr Spiegelbild:
Biosphere: "Möglicherweise bin
ich von der
Landschaft mehr unbewusst beeinflusst. Ich möchte kein Bild malen,
das
die Landschaft beschreibt, es ist eher abstrakt. Ich denke, es reicht
einfach dort zu leben, denn als ich in Brüssel wohnte war ich von
Hip
Hop und frühen Elektroniksachen beeinflusst, einfach weil ich in
dieser
Stadt war. Ich glaube, es ist sehr wichtig, wo du lebst. "
Doch Biospheres atmosphärische
Klänge lassen auch den Puls
der Großstadt langsamer schlagen.

Biosphere sound installation at The Storr, Scotland
1. August - 17. September 2005
nva presents THE STORR at Trotternish, Isle of Skye from August 1st - September 17th 2005 with pick up points at Portree and Staffin, tickets £25 (concessions apply).
Every night at midnight, nva, Scotland's acclaimed environmental arts company and creators of The Path the legendary millennium event in Glen Lyon, will be taking an audience of around 200 on an extraordinary journey through the wild northern landforms of the Isle of Skye, to walk up to the iconic Old Man of Storr and the high cliffs above Coire Faion.
Enigmatic installations will illuminate the massed pinnacles and buttresses, tracing the longest single landslip in the UK, while powerful soundscapes drift down from the ridges above.
Equipped with headlamps, guides and walking sticks, the audience takes a three and half kilometre, at times strenuous, walk which will take up to two hours to complete. They will witness one of Europe's most dramatic and inspiring landscapes at night, whilst nva create an immense landscape work, lowing among the unique geological features. A specially developed new 'Hansel and Gretel' reflective light network will create a path through the beautifully lit rock formations. Contemporary sounds from the Norwegian composer Geir Jenssen, based in Tromso, and the voice of Skye's legendary poet, Sorley MacLean, along with live song will drift down from the mountainside, creating an intense and personal experience for each walker.
For further information on how to book tickets, accommodation and travel links, please visit www.nva.org.uk

Children aged 11 and under MUST be accompanied by an adult,who will be responsible for their safety. Babies and toddlers will not be admitted to the event.

The Storr Unfolding Landscape project won the Team of
the
Year award at Scottish Enterprise’s Dynamic Place Awards 2005
The Storr Unfolding Landscape project was
a
unique landscape animation set against a backdrop of great cliffs,
shattered pinnacles and rock falls of the Storr in the north of
Skye. Sound, lights and projection, temporarily installed within
the Storr Woods and on the hillside above, were used to reveal
accumulated perspectives on geology, culture and belief. Over
8,000 night-time visitors enjoyed the unique aural and visual
experience during the late summer of 2005. The project
attracted a large number of tourists to Skye and enhanced the
reputation of Scotland as a first-class tourist destination through the
world-wide press coverage that the event received.
Dynamic Place Award Judge, Stephen Tucker said of the project: “The
project was a unique and extraordinary example of reconnecting people
with the stunning landscape of Scotland through the medium of
art. Through the ingenuity and dedication of the team behind the
Storr experience, working with national agencies and local people,
visitors were treated to a once in a lifetime experience.”
