Electroacoustic concert/sound performance >
Boe
is
currently booking concerts where he will draw upon his entire
solo soundarchive from 1984 to the present to recreate old material
and mix it with new.
He
will even include material from well-received albums like Siesta,
Monokromosom, Confessions Of A Poolboy, Melting Snow and Viscum
Album.
Every
set will be uniquely adapted to the situation, under his full
name and the work title "Music, even".
He
will use his acoustic laptops and other instrumentation, and play
up against random blocks of prerecorded sound. The concerts are
verving on the performative, as they are visual and tend to get
physical.

"Boe
is not unlike John Cage: a man of small sounds, but with the amplification
used in rock concerts I am pretty sure this must have sounded
massive. Musicboxes, piano bangs and obscured drones make up a
great piece that receives a good applaus from the audience. Well
deserved." - Frans DeWaard, Vital Weekly 604
"The
live part tug at the end of your conciousness, like happenings
outside your field of vision, while the recorded parts provide
a muzz curtain elegantly highlighting the tinkle and clunk of
the assembled art kitchen." - The Wire
"Boe
focus on what's just before and after, over and under, in and
around - and thus helps the listening ear open up to an expanded
universe of sound that it knows exist, but usually don't notice."
- Groove.no
"I
found myself staring at the loudspeakers astouned. Luckily - today's
rockers manage to breathe new life to contemporary music's ideas."
- Absurd Magazine "The sounds posess a very natural inherent beauty,
something that he is a very keen observer of." - Roel Meelkop
