Monster jazz // at 11:30 on the main stage

Monsterjazz was commissioned work for Moldejazz2014. There, the quintet created 2 free-form concerts with - and for young and old jazz monsters, with text elements from Seglem's two poetry collections and his written stories for children. The concert has an open form, where an imaginary energy line that the musicians navigate along controls the progression and the music. Improvisation in the true sense of the word. At the bottom lies the elaborate basic element, perhaps primarily sonorous, but also melodic, rhythmic and harmonic. Building blocks that are there as a starting point to be thrown in - used in the concert. Karl Seglem challenges himself, his fellow musicians and a listening audience, who also get the chance to participate - and shape the concert. And no one knows when, how and in what way. In the main, the concert will be instrumental (no song lyrics), but with words and text elements in one form or another - which will also be improvised here and there. The draftsman Gunvor Rasmussen contributes his "voice" to the project by drawing drawings along the way - with ink and watercolor as her instruments. The drawings are shown on a screen, projected. And: she will draw MONSTERS of all kinds, inspired by what is created here and there - as an extension of the sound, the sound and the interaction between stage and hall.

Cast: Karl Seglem (t.sax, fetlock, antelope horn, lyrics), Christoph Stiefel (prepared piano), Jullie Hjetland Jensen (voice, loops), Trygve Waldemar Fiske (bass), Kåre Opheim (drums, percussion), and Gunvor Rasmussen (ink and watercolors)
