About the concert


Ancestral Modernism concert series offers audiences profound and timeless experiences by bringing out the universality of avant-garde and ancestral heritage. The Tri(o)logy production offers an evening of sonic celebration with Japanese Shomyo Buddhist Chant, free improvisation, and Cage and Stockhausen, performed by three internationally acclaimed musicians of high integrity and versatility, all with the background of Buddhism.


Japanese Shomyo chant originates from ancient Buddhist rituals about 1200 years ago, yet it still has the ability to speak immediately to people of all nationalities today. The same is true for free improvisation and many masterful contemporary works, which can also bring listeners back to the very source of sound, back to a metaphysical home as a deeply felt existential phenomenon.


The three musicians will furthermore present both free improvisation and contemporary works influenced by Japan, such as John Cage's masterwork “Ryoanji” and a selection from Stockhausen's “For Times to Come,” many of which were written after his return from Osaka in 1970.


This is a very rare chance to listen to authentic Shomyo Chant juxtaposed with free improvisation and contemporary music. Bring your friends and family to a complete immersion in a world beyond time and space, an experience of Ancestral Modernism.



Vision in Danish:

Ancestral Modernism Tri(o)logy præsenterer denne aften en ny, internationalt anerkendt konstellation: den banebrydende franske slagtøjsspiller Lê Quan Ninh, den spirituelle japanske sanger Junko Ueda, og den kontemporære slagtøjsspilleren Ying Hsueh Chen. Koncerten byder på forskellige kombinationer af Japansk traditionel Musik, ny kompositionsmusik og Improvisationsmusik - solo, duo og trio.

Autentisk Japansk Shomyo chant kommer fra buddhistiske ritualer som er mere end 1200 år gamle, men de har stadigvæk en umiddelbar påvirkning på folk i dag uanset oprindelse. Shomyo Chant, som sjældent er hørt i Danmark, er en spirituel disciplin som handler om at gå tilbage til menneskets primale kerne.

Slagtøj og sang er de to allermest primitive instrumenter, og den besætning er derfor en af de ældste, måske lige så gammel som mennesket selv. Vi vil udforske om kombinationen af buddhistisk chant og fri improvisation kan have en helbredende virkning på publikum. Det er Ancestral Modernisms mål at udfolde musikernes forskellige baggrund i klassisk, rytmisk og folkemusik på smukkeste vis i et bevægende og markant fælles udtryk.

Medrivende tilstedeværelse, dybhed, og inspiration fra Zen Buddhisme er et fællestræk ved Ninh, Ying-Hsueh, og Junkos måde at opføre musik.

Denne koncert støttes særligt af Augustinus Fonden, DJBFA/KODA, Københavns Kommune, Dansk Komponist Forening og Statens Kunstfond.
