Tickets: 50 DKK (100 DKK incl. cassette)

Join us for a unique musical experience with Xavier Bonfill, one of the most exciting and innovative voices in the contemporary music scene. Xavier is celebrating the release of his new EP, '2x2x2', with a release concert at the intimate Tofu Space in Copenhagen.

About the release '2x2x2':
"2x2 is, in itself, a riddle. Two performers play a middle C, over and over, on the instrument of their own choice. The instrumental sound is extended through the use of live electronics, exploring repetition, variation, texture, and counterpoint. Originally commissioned by Christian Tscherning (trombone) and Jason Alder (bass clarinet), the piece has since been performed in various instrument combinations since its 2020 premiere. Always new, yet always recognizable.

To honor its many sides, I decided to present it in a studio recording with not one but two different versions, back-to-back. The 2x versions included in this release are especially contrasting. They invite us to explore the inherent dichotomy of the piece. Something akin to a developed picture and its negative. There is no need to choose a side."

Special Guest: Fei Nie
Review from Inverted Audio:
"With two tracks of pristine contemplation at the core of this framework, Bonfill explores dark ambient soundscapes, accompanied by a group of avantgarde musicians" - Read more here
