ABOUT

English

Composer, bass player and vocalist Guro Skumsnes Moe is among the most active musicians and composers in Norway within the borderless music. With a primitive and direct approach she seeks for a physical sound through bass and voice. To search for a sound that is not possible.The instrumental approach has elements of friction and noise, and draw inspiration from concrete music, noise and performance. Moes background from improvised music through contemporary music and rock is remarkable and shows that the boundaries of today’s music is beginning to blur. Her production includes more than 20 albums, music to multiple productions by Plexus Polaires Compagnie (Moby Dick, which she won the Hedda price for in the category Audio visual performance), scoring for Amat Escalantes reward winning movie “The Untamed”, which she also was nominated for best score for the Ariel Price in Mexico, » and composing for her chamber orchestra The Touchables, and her world wide touring rock band MoE. Her cross disiplinary concert installation «Resonance Silence» led her to a residency stay at Headlands Center for the Arts, CA, and was shown to great critics at the Borealis Festival for experimental music, Norway in 2022.


Maria Bertel is a Danish trombone player, improviser and composer. The acoustic sound of her instrument amplified creates an output that draws inspiration from drone and noise music. What is normally not hearable is presenting itself, movements, metal and breath becomes a swirling part of her compositions. Changing organic patterns are emerging, tiny sounds becomes brutally clear as well as the range of overtones of the instrument.

She is one of five cofounders of the Copenhagen based art collective eget værelse founded in 2010. Apart from her work as a solo artist she performs an composes in groups like GESH (with drummer Jaleh Negari), Selvhenter, the notorious four piece noise rock band, G.E.K duo with saxophone player Johannes Lund, and more. She has presented her music in various festivals like Flow Festival (FL) Supersonic Festival (UK) Raw Power festival (UK) Sonic Protest (FR) Gong Tomorrow (DK) Borealis (NO) OFF festival B-sides festival (CH) Meteo festival (FR).


MEUF is both the name of a concert series and 2 album releases that emerged in 2023 as a new annual tradition where a compilation is released on Barefoot Records every year on March 8, with new collaborations between women and gender minorities, curated and initiated by composer and saxophonist Maria Dybbroe. The idea of ​​MEUF is to spotlight some of the most interesting non-male musicians on the European scene for experimental music and improvisation, as well as to forge new bonds between non-male musicians in Europe, who due to their minority in the music industry may feel a lack of colleagues who, by virtue of their gender and minority status, are similar to themselves. With the album releases MEUF vol 1, 2 and 3, as well as several MEUF concerts in different countries and cities since 2023, over 50 women and gender minorities have already met in completely new constellations, which in several cases have become the start of long-term collaborations and for most of them have provided new experiences and new inspiration. Furthermore, the point is to inspire the audience, both young and older non-men, to become musicians, and to give the audience the opportunity to reflect on minority stories.

Komponist, bassist og vokalist Guro Skumsnes Moe er blandt de mest aktive musikere og komponister i Norge inden for den genrebrydende og grænseløse musik. Med en primitiv og direkte tilgang søger hun efter en fysisk lyd gennem bas og stemme. At søge efter en lyd, der ikke er mulig. Den instrumentelle tilgang har elementer af friktion og støj og henter inspiration fra konkret musik, noise og performance. Moes baggrund fra improviseret musik gennem samtidsmusik og rock er bemærkelsesværdig og viser, at grænserne for nutidens musik begynder at udviskes. Hendes produktion omfatter mere end 20 albums, musik til flere produktioner af Plexus Polaires Compagnie (Moby Dick, som hun vandt Hedda-prisen for i kategorien Audiovisuel præstation), scoring for Amat Escalantes belønningsvindende film ""The Untamed"", som hun også blev nomineret for bedste partitur til Ariel Price i Mexico, » og komponerede for sit kammerturné- og verdensomspændende rockband The Touchable. Hendes tværfaglige koncertinstallation «Resonance Silence» førte hende til et ophold på Headlands Center for the Arts, CA, og blev vist for store kritikere på Borealis Festival for eksperimentel musik, Norge i 2022.


Maria Bertel er en dansk trombonist, improvisator og komponist. Den akustiske lyd af hendes instrument, der forstærkes, skaber et output, der henter inspiration fra drone- og støjmusik. Det der normalt ikke kan høres kommer frem; bevægelser, metal og ånde bliver en hvirvlende del af hendes kompositioner. Skiftende organiske mønstre dukker op, bittesmå lyde bliver brutalt tydelige såvel som instrumentets overtoner.

Hun er en af ​​fem medstiftere af det københavnske kunstkollektiv Eget værelse, der blev grundlagt i 2010. Udover sit arbejde som soloartist optræder hun og komponerer i grupper som GESH (med trommeslager Jaleh Negari), Selvhenter, det berygtede firemands støjrockband, G.E.K duo med saxofonist Johannes Lund, med flere. Hun har præsenteret sin musik på forskellige festivaler som Flow Festival (FL) Supersonic Festival (UK) Raw Power festival (UK) Sonic Protest (FR) Gong Tomorrow (DK) Borealis (NO) OFF festival B-sides festival (CH) og Meteo festival (FR).


MEUF er både navnet på en koncertrække og 2 album-udgivelser, der opstod i 2023 som en ny årlig tradition hvor der udgives et samleværk på Barefoot Records hvert år den 8.marts, med nye samarbejder mellem kvinder og kønsminoriteter, kurateret og initieret af komponist og saxofonist Maria Dybbroe. Idéen med MEUF er at sætte spotlight på nogen af de mest interessante ikke-mandlige musikere på den europæiske scene for eksperimenterende musikk og improvisation, samt knytte nye bånd mellem ikke-mandlige musikere i Europa, som pga. deres minoritet i musikbranchen måske kan føle at de mangler kolleger som i kraft af deres køn og minoritetsstatus ligner dem selv. Med album-udgivelserne MEUF vol 1, 2 og 3, samt adskillige MEUF-koncerter i forskellige lande og byer siden 2003, har allerede over 50 kvinder og kønsminoriteter mødtes i helt nye konstellationer, som i flere tilfælde er blevet starten på langvarige samarbejder og for de fleste har givet nye erfaringer og ny inspirasjon. Desuden er det en pointe at inspirere publikum, både unge og ældre ikke-mænd, til å blive musikere, samt at give publikum mulighed for at kunne spejle sig i minoritets historier.
