Danish composer Simon Løffler is on a mission to bring composition nearer to the condition of animal behaviour. He adapts the signs of ritual behaviour and display to a human performance method, in the process opening up the parameters for how the body can be utilised in the generation of music.
Simon Løffler is a research fellow at the PhD-programme in Artistic Research at the Norwegian Academy of Music. These concerts are in collaboration with the Munch Museum and Ultima, Oslo Contemporary Music Festival. The project will play three times during the day.
