Bendik Giske - Not Yet

- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- Bendik Giske is an artist and saxophonist whose practice frequently blurs the boundaries between performance, installation and music. Over two solo albums for Smalltown Supersound - 2019’s Surrender and 2021’s Cracks - Giske has pushed his instrument and body to the limit through circular breathing techniques that stretch and shape his tender compositions.
In March 2021, Giske was commissioned by Oslo’s MUNCH Museet to create a new live work, Not Yet. Created in collaboration with sound artist Bridget Ferrill and featuring lighting and bespoke scenography by Theresa Baumgartner, Not Yet is a performance that explores ideas of queer time and ecstasy, drawing inspiration from the first passage of José Esteban Muñoz’s book Cruising Utopia, which references queerness as something glimpsed on the horizon that belongs to everyone.
In this film, directed and produced by Fact’s Pedro S. Küster and featuring exclusive footage from the live performance of Not Yet, Giske discusses the many innovative techniques that go into creating his work, from circular breathing to using microphones mounted on the instrument to create different tonal qualities. Giske also discusses the inspiration behind Not Yet and the idea of ‘stepping out of the binary’ to create a unique tonal and spatial experience, one that communicates with both the audience and the performance environment.

Very powerful and inspiring artist. I already loved his music without knowing anything about the man. Now I am even more interested.
Was waiting for the applause at the end there 👏👏👏👏 Saw him play this summer, one of the best live performances I've ever seen, absolutely amazing
Modern day genius
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Soooo cooooooool
I always thought that I don't like the sound of the saxophone. Bendik changed that.

Si ese ruido lo hace un hetero lo encierran en un manicomio
Seen Bendik at work 23 sept 2023 in Tilburg , what he does is very hard but the sound is something i really dont like and even trips my annoying sensors. At one point a was thinking cant you just pkay some nice jazz ? It almost looked like bendik loves to annoy his audience. Sorry bendik its not my thing.
Good jazz ain't nice! 😋
