OCCII x Klankhaven – BEAM SPLITTER – Audre y Chen & Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø (US/NO) + MARIELLE GROVEN (CA) + GJ P RINS & LIDA BROUSKARI (NL/GR)

BEAM SPLITTER – Audrey C hen & Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø (US/NO, voice, electronics, tro mbone)

Using the trombone and voice, they manoeuvrer a balance betw een fragility, intimacy, the ecstatic and measured control. They share a c ommon sense of pulse and an inherent understanding of the way they each au rally manage and let go of every consecutive moment. The lungs release thr ough to mouths to bell, back and forth like a tactile breathing exchange. Since beginning their collaboration in 2015, Nørstebø and Chen have been extensively touring the globe; in Europe, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, and the USA.

Audrey Chen is a Chinese-American musician born outside of Chicago in 1976. Sh e turned to the cello at age 8 and voice at 11. After years of classical a nd conservatory training in both instruments, with a resulting specializat ion in early and new music; now, using the voice and cello, Chen’s work delves deeply into her own version of narrative and non-lin ear storytelling.

Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø (born 19 86 in Trondheim, Norway) is a trombonist working mostly within contemporar y fields of music. An ambiguous relationship with the trombone has led him to explore both the boisterous and brassy side of the instrument, as well as its counterpoint in microscopic and ‘electronic’ sound possibilities. Utilizing a wide spectrum of playing techniques, from pure long tones to n oise and the almost inaudible, he often works balancing the intuitive with the precisely constructed.
