Øyvind Mæland: Quality Finish
Nina Garcia & Anna Gaïotti: guitar and tap dance
Hard surfaces resist.
In Quality Finish by Øyvind Mæland, six percussionists play instruments built from large panels of ceramic tiles, wood, metal and other materials. Bows are drawn across the surfaces. The performers become string players of a kind, moving through a strange, quasi-melodic landscape of noise, friction and fragile cooperation.
The materials hum and shriek. A tone allowed to sing out across the surface can stop another sound dead; a careful stroke can quickly become pressure. The music has to gather itself again and again, as if recovering from contact.
Nina Garcia is one of the most distinctive voices in the French noise and improvisation scene, known for an intense guitar practice where even the sparsest means can open large, raw sound worlds. Anna Gaïotti is a dancer and musician whose feet movements become percussion. For their first duo appearance at Kulturkirken Jakob, Gaïotti taps against the old wooden floor. The audience, seated around her and Garcia, feels the creaks and vibrations in their own bodies.
Noise, this evening, is not a genre or a gesture. It is in the crack of a tile, the scrape of a bow, the strike of a foot, and in the hard matter that answers back.
