In this performance Mixed Currents will present new works that investigate physicality, virtuosity, and liveness by colliding the acoustic with the electric and the virtual with the real. Featuring Linda Jankowska, Dejana Sekulic, Irine Rosnes, Gilles Doneux, Sam Salem, Pablo Galaz, and Colin Frank.

Mixed Currents is a collaborative research project aiming to further understand the
contemporary performers’, composers’ and musical instrument’s roles, and create new situations in which they can switch their identities. Initiated by five CeReNeM doctoral students – Linda Jankowska, Dejana Sekulic, Irine Røsnes, Pablo Galaz and
Colin Frank – the group’s focus is on cultivating a collaboratively exploratory spirit and nourishing individual expert contributions. Mixed Currents creatively fuses old/new, acoustic/electronic, and analog/digital instruments. We explore a nonhierarchical ensemble direction that grows into our creative practice as a group.
