LuthPi
— Dear doctor doctor———————–Sick I feel————————nonono yousay————-but my skin!–is burning——as butter in the sun I feel————————–soft, elastic like plastic——–bendable you could say————————————————————————MY MIND IS EXPLODING————-TOO MANY VOICES IN MY HEAD——————THAT i CAN´T CONTROL—-PEOPLE WITH THEIR FEET IN MY FACE…. LIVING THEIR LIFE INSIDE MY HEAD…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
The Danish duo LuthPi plays improvised and graphically notated music. Using themes inspired by daily life occurrences and during this tour they have chosen to convey the experience of anxiety and fear using screams, whispers and reading text. The music is tonal, intense and expressive. By using preparationes, extended techniques as well as perfomance art to clarify the message, the two saxophonists invite you into a different and naked atmosphere.
