Göteborgs Konserthus Magnetic Fields – Magic Realism

Event has already taken place

This evening’s programme is permeated by sounds of attraction. As if conjured up by magnetism, sounds are produced in the most diverse and imaginative ways when Gageego! plays limitless music by Cleare, Holloway-Nahum and Iannotta. It is as if the music is invoked from whence it was previously barely possible to discern a contour of something. The words of philosopher Timothy Morton frame the entire process:

”Every aesthetic trace, every footprint of an object, sparkles with absence. Sensual things are elegies to the disappearance of objects.”

The Pioneer concept brings you contemporary music in combination with other forms of expression, such as art, film, audiovisual elements and drama. This season’s six Saturday evenings in the Stenhammarsalen auditorium are a must for anyone interested in cutting-edge artistic expression.

Art piece in the foyer

Adjacent to the concert we are showing the art piece Pixilation (2019) by composer Johan Svensson, composed for two keyboards, light and samples and specially adapted for Gothenburg’s Concert Hall foyer. Tightly connected sound and light sources create interlaced animation sequences that evolve over time inside light-protected tents. Let yourself be enveloped in darkness and experience how bass frequencies fill the room.

Note: Installations will contain flashing lights and stroboscopes.
