KLANG Conversations #2: Jexper Holmen

Welcome to KLANG Conversations – An intimate conversation between KLANG Festival's artistic director James Black and some of the artists performing at this year's festival. KLANG Conversations presents a unique insight into the enigmatic artistic practices of the performers and explores their creative processes in greater depth. The second conversation is between KLANG's artistic director James Black and composer Jexper Holmen. As one of the festival's featured artists, Jexper will be showcasing his unique style in two not-to-be-missed performances. First, on June 1st, Athelas Sinfonietta will be performing his captivating work "Sinfonella" in the stunning Black Diamond venue. Then, on June 4th, Rudersdal Kammersoloister will present a concert curated by Jexper that features his groundbreaking piece "[im'pækt]", along with music by the talented Louis Aguirre and Ylva Lund Bergner. In this chat, James and Jexper delve into the creative process of curating versus creating, as well as the use of wildness and violence in music. Jexper even gives an exclusive preview of his piece and shares his experience of Danishness within the new music scene.
