A unique collaboration at this year’s SPOT Festival unites music, film and art in one very special concert experience. The two solo artists Lydmor and Bon Homme will be staged with an experimental interactive experience.

The experiment is created in a unique collaboration between the two solo artists, the award winning film- and animation-director, Jeanette Nørgaard, and the industrial design duo, Troels og Iben Lindebjerg. The artist Lydmor is thrilled about the project.

– The visual part will support the music and create a lot of energy on stage. I’m very excited about whether the audience will be fascinated, and I’m sure that the concert will be magical, says Jenny Rossander, who is behind the stage name Lydmor.

Pictures created with sound
The visual presentation takes its starting point in a poetic, artistic story, CRANE on the Run, created by Jeanette Nørgaard. During the concert elements from the story will develop visually by means of Lydmor and Bon Homme, who will each have their own character. Jeanette Nørgaard makes the animations, while Troels and IbenLindebjerg will take care of the technical set up, which includes the technology Kinect that picks up the artists’ movements and sound.

– Lydmor and Bon Homme are the sources of the visual part. We’ll be starting with a graphical element which develops, and in the end Lydmor will be surrounded by creatures and elements and Bon Homme will be surrounded by a dark universe. So they go from being artists to being different characters by the means of their sound, Troels Lindebjerg tells.

The collaboration between Jeanette Nørgaard and Troels Lindebjerg is supported financially by the Shareplay Fund with the purpose of testing the concept at SPOT Festival.

Explore your own silhouette
Both before and after the concert the universe will be introduced to the audience in an interactive installation. Here you can explore a large projection of a city-universe by the means of your own silhouette. At the concert you will find that Lydmor and Bon Homme are the sources of the universe.

– Both the installation and the concert have elements from the story CRANE on the Run, such as feathers, shapes and colours. For example you will see a pair of eyes, ‘The Silent Ones’, just at the edge of your field of vision, which will disappear when you look at them. They are supposed to illustrate a thought that you can almost reach, but not quite, Jeanette Nørgaard explains about the visual universe.

The interactive concert experience with Lydmor and Bon Homme will take place at Voxhall Friday 2 May at 22.30.
