16:00 Tegn
Warped and twisted pedal-steel guitar and thundering, staggering drums construct beautiful scenes and unsettling landscapes.

The music ebbs and flows, with glimpses of serenity.

The duo works completely improvised, drawing inspiration from rock, free jazz and all music, but mainly; from their guts.

On this evening you can experience a concert of pure instant composing with the musicians particpating at Impro Camp.
They will be conducted by Nana Pi with the music sign language Extemporize - a sign language system developed by Nana Pi. The signs consist of music elements like loop, register, dynamics, multiphonics, etc. and are going to be given by the conductor. The musical interaction is based on the structure of the conductor and the intuition of the respective musicians.
