Info
In this work, the music is heard through the teeth. This stages the music in a way that makes it it reside at the threshold of the audible. A music that demands an extremely delicate fingertip control from the musician while also bringing a sonification of touch very close to the listener, as it emerges within the body. As both the composer and the audience place their teeth on a single wooden stick, a sense of connectedness arises among all participants. As if we are all plugged into the same umbilical cord when we listen to the same music.

Simon Løffler (b. 1981) has based his work on prolonged developmental processes that develop alternative instrumental practises, often exploring the mechanics of the body. In the last 5 years Løfflers’ work has explored the proximity between human coporeality and non-humans, manifested in his Animalia cycle, which is currently comprising nine pieces and constantly evolving. The Danish-born artist performs – and is performed – around the world, and he currently divides his time between Oslo and Copenhagen. He studied composition in Copenhagen, Berlin, Aarhus and Bruxelles.
