Yesterday we started rehearsing for
a new show. As usual, we started from scratch. That is, since we got the gig,
we have been collecting video, photos and sounds in order to use as raw
material. Without that it would not have been Mugetuft. Even if the project has
grown since Peter Knudsen and myself played our first duo guitar-projector gig
three years ago, we still maintain the core idea; that the visual and the
audial side of our final expression should be of as equal value as
possible.
June 14 at 11 pm, we are to perform
a half hour long piece at the front wall of an old workshop building at the
waterfront in the center of Oslo. As it looks now, the show will be a loosely
told "story" about life when this shop-dine-and-cappuccino part of
modern Oslo was still a big loud shipyard. However, at the core of all we do is
improvisation. It is pre-meditated to various extent, but improvised in timing
and what pieces of expression is used when, or not used at all.
