Artist of the week: lh lokander

Concert time:
11:30
13:30
Duration approximately 20 minutes.

lh lokander explores the meeting between folk tradition and digital soundscapes.
Based on a songwriting practice rooted in Norwegian folk song, young songwriter Lars Hagane Lokander works to challenge the notion of simplicity and acoustics as the genre's natural form.

Inspired by how figures like Ole Paus have expanded the expression of folk songs through new forms of collaboration and musical frameworks, he seeks to continue a text-based practice into a more unpredictable soundscape. Where folk songs are traditionally carried by voice and guitar, the project lh lokander allows the material to pass through digital processes such as compression, noise, signal breakdown and displacements.
What was previously stable is set in motion. The use of live electronics allows both structure and expression to change in the moment.

The project stems from a desire to investigate how a song can exist in a time characterized by technology and fragmented experiences. The music moves quietly where the intimate and human meets noise, improvisation and live processing – an expression that both challenges the safety of the song format and looks forward.

The concert is included in the admission ticket to Rockheim.
