In November last year we announced an open call for a residency in The Sound Laboratory in Musikhuset København.

After having assessed the many
enormously exciting applications we received, the committee selected artist
and composer Jacob Remin and the electronic duo Atikka for the residency.

Remin will start his residency this week. Each residency
lasts for a month.

About Jacob Remin

Jacob Remin’s work takes technology and social construction, political power and
activistic tools as its starting point. Through his work, Remin actively seeks to
break down hierarchies between art and science and examines other times,
cultures and understandings in this regard. Remin’s work can be defined as
network-creating and he is involved in different groups who engage with art and
technology, such as Offspace.dk, Centre for Cyber Wellness, Science Friction
and 8bit klubben.

“I’m looking forward to spending time and presence with this fantastic
collection of machines. I regard them all as portals to another time and
potentially as openings to radically different universes of sound. It’s very
exciting what will come out of my residence”, says Jacob Remin.

About Atikka

Copenhagen-based Susanne & John Cleworth make up the dynamic duo
Atikka. The duo combines distinct musical approaches and draws upon
both experimental electronic music, club music and avantgarde. Since the
beginning of the project in 2022, they’ve played in places such as Japan,
Australia and Sweden.

“Since we primarily work digitally, we see this residency as a gateway to
hands-on exploration of music production. With access to Lydlaboratoriet’s
stunning collection of Gunnar Møller Pedersen’s equipment and
instruments, we aim to deepen our understanding of sound physics and
expand our compositional techniques by departing from conventional
methods.
It’s a big honour for us to be a part of this wonderful project hosted by Art Music
Denmark and Strøm”, says the duo.

About The Sound Laboratory

The Sound Laboratory is a collaboration between Art Music Denmark and
Strøm.

With the project, Strøm and Art Music Denmark wish to both
preserve and at the same time activate the cultural heritage which is
related to the electronic equipment that’s been used decades ago.

The
Sound Laboratory is part of the project Lydskatten (The Sound Treasure),
which is a collaboration between Art Music Denmark, Strøm and The
Danish Composer’s Society. The project is supported by The Augustinus
Foundation and Koda Culture.

In 2023, the two musicians Anton Friisgaard and Guðjón Andri participated
in residencies in The Sound Laboratory, where they both gave a
presentation of their work at a public event as a culmination of their
residencies.
