BJ NILSEN, HILD SOFIE TAFJORD, HILDUR GUDNADÓTTIR, THOMAS ANKERSMIT

AMSTERDAM DANCE EVENT

The varied artists included this evening are all fascinated with sound experiments, overtones and drones. Dutch alto saxophonist and sound artist Thomas Ankersmit lives in Berlin and has collaborated with multimedia pioneer Phil Niblock. Hild Sofie Tafjord creates erratic noise collages with French horn and electronics. The minimal soundscapes by BJ Nilsen appeared on such respected labels as Touch. Cello player Hildur Gudnadóttir gained notoriety with the Icelandic folk pop group Múm. Alone she creates warm and melancholic music.
