NEKO3 ist ein in Kopenhagen ansässiges Ensemble für zeitgenössische Musik, das aus drei Mitgliedern besteht: der Pianistin Fei Nie und den beiden Schlagzeugern Lorenzo Colombo und Kalle Hakosalo. Das Ensemble arbeitet an der Entwicklung einer neuen musikalischen Sprache und eines neuen Repertoires. Zwischen akustischer und elektronischer Musik angesiedelt, entwickelt NEKO3 für jedes Konzert eine Geschichte und ein Konzept und macht es so zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis für das Publikum. NEKO3 arbeitet kontinuierlich mit Komponisten zusammen, um neue Werke in Auftrag zu geben und zur Uraufführung zu bringen, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf dem Zusammenspiel von Bildern, elektronischen Geräten, Videos und Licht liegt und versucht, Musik, visuelle Kunst, Installationen und Körperperformance in ein konzeptionelles Ganzes zu integrieren.

Seit seiner Gründung 2017 ist NEKO3 auf Festivals wie Dark Music Days (IS), PlayTime Festival (CH), Kammer Klang (UK), Copenhagen Light Festival (DK), Klang Festival (DK), Sound of Stockholm (SE) und Spor Festival (DK) aufgetreten. Außerdem waren die drei Musiker als Solisten des multidisziplinären Concerto grosso „Yes for No“ von Xavier Bonfill mit dem Danish National Symphony Orchestra und der Aarhus Sinfonietta zu hören. Sie haben Workshops und Präsentationen u. a. an der Königlich Dänischen Musikakademie (DK), der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg (DE) und der Kungliga Musikhögskolan (SE) gegeben. Im Jahr 2018 nahm das Ensemble darüber hinaus seine erste EP mit Musik des dänischen Komponisten Jeppe Just Christensen auf und veröffentlichte 2020 seine zweite EP mit Musik von Mads Emil Dreyer. Seit 2019 ist der renommierte zeitgenössische Musiker Antoine Françoise betreuender Mentor von NEKO3. Aktuell stehen Auftritte unter anderem beim Korvat Auki Verband (FI), Unerhörte Musik (DE), GAS Festival (SE) und Spor Festival (DK) am Programm. Darüber hinaus wird das Trio mit Komponisten wie Alexander Schubert, Sofie Meyer und Gianluca Iadema sowie verschiedenen jungen dänischen und internationalen Komponisten im Rahmen ihrer NEKO.Lab Mikro-Workshop-Initiative zusammenarbeiten.

Bei „open music“ gastiert NEKO3 auch im Rahmen des impuls Festivals mit freundlicher Unterstützung der KUG sowie als Young Ensemble in Residence des durch das Creative Europe Programme of the European Union geförderten Ulysses Netzwerks, dessen Associate Partner „open music“ mit einigen Projekten 2023 und 2024 ist.

Ein herzlicher Dank für die freundliche Unterstützung ergeht darüber hinaus auch an Art Music Denmark und Statens Kunstfond. The Danish composer society, KODA, ernst von siemens.

It's time to celebrate the first two seasons of NEKO3's micro-workshops with young, up-and-coming composers with an event as cozy and laid-back the workshops themselves! On the first day of winter we will host a evening centering around some of the past years' composers: David Carrillo, Anne Teikari, Anton Lindström & Sofie Meyer. The evening will begin with a concert showing the end results of the raw musical ideas the composers and us worked on together, which is followed by a dinner, some casual discussing with the composers, and cozy hanging-out. It’s the perfect time of the year to participate in your NEKO3-family event - see you there

Modtager af Musikanmelderringens Kunstnerpis 2022 er Ensemble NEKO3, der fik en forrygende start med sin debutkoncert i 2017 i Københavns Literaturhaus, fulgt op med koncerter i 2018, bl.a. på Københavns Sonic Festival med fire stjerner og disse ord med på vejen fra Politiken: "En ambitiøs og tiltrængt tilføjelse til dette lands avantgarde musikscene" - "et skønt ensemble, der sætter lys (og lyd) på en særlig gren af kompositionsmusikken, hvor lyd og billede og performance arbejder sammen". Drevet af en glubende appetit parret med nysgerrighed og uforfærdet mod har trioen kastet sig ud i de største musikalske udfordringer, og det der begyndte som en tilfældighed er på kort tid blevet et eventyr. NEKO3 har bestilt og uropført flere værker af den helt unge komponistgeneration, men har også fokus på den centraleuropæiske modernisme. 

Koncerten er NEKO3s tredje Moderne Mandag, og den byder på dansk førsteopførelse af tyske Alexander Schubert, bestilt af NEKO 3, og en ny version af danske Gunnar Bergs modernistklassiker Random.

NEKO3’s work is not limited to the simple conception of a given program, but extends to the meaningful work of research and development in collaboration with the composers, trying to inspire them and integrating them to the central features of the work of the ensemble. "NEKO3 x Light" features light as its central theme and medium, with works by both younger and more established composers, in order to illuminate the new currents of the new music scene via an international perspective. Stylistically, the works point in many directions, but overall form a good picture of the great diversity of new compositional music.

NEKO3 x 'stay with me'

For the Ekkozone Offbeats festival NEKO3 presents two concerts of varied program by modern-day composers, both works written specifically for the ensemble and others worked on in close collaboration with their creators. The focus has been laid on the composer and the ensemble functioning as a unity, blending artistic research with a profound interest in inter-human connections. Such is the uniting theme - up close and personal. Over the two concerts the ensemble will be met with a variety of multimedia effects like visual art, game engines, lights and electronics. Apart from Alexander Schubert's 'vertex hand' as the repertorial uniting factor of the two concerts, works will be presented by Marcela Lucatelli and Xavier Bonfill

About Xavier Bonfill

Xavier Bonfill is a Catalan composer and performer living in Copenhagen. His artistic output encompasses works for traditional instruments, electronics, video and other multimedia formats such as interactive websites and apps. In his works, a form of dialogue between different media and art forms is created between text, images, acoustic and electronic sound. Duality, opposition and even contradiction are a characteristic of his aesthetics: where the poetic is set against the immediately superficial, the extravagant against the intimate, the crooked against the naive.

About Marcela Lucatelli

Marcela Lucatelli can already be hailed as one of the most innovative vocalists and composers of her generation. Born in Brazil and based in Denmark, Marcela has earned international recognition for her extremely original, sensuous and politically charged performance works. Her works have been premiered at diverse festivals and international events such as Donaueschinger Musiktage, Darmstadt Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik, Nordic Music Days, KLANG, Copenhagen Jazz Festival and All Ears Festival for Improvised Music.

About Alexander Schubert

Alexander Schubert studied bioinformatics, multimedia composition. He’s a professor at the Musikhochschule Hamburg. Schubert’s interest explores the border between the acoustic and electronic world. In music composition, immersive installation and staged pieces he examines the interplay between the digital and the analogue. He creates pieces that realize test settings or interaction spaces that question modes of perception and representation. Continuing topics in this field are authenticity and virtuality. The influence and framing of digital media on aesthetic views and communication is researched in a post-digital perspective. Recent research topics in his works were virtual reality, artificial intelligence and online-mediated artworks. Schubert is a founding member of ensembles such as “Decoder“.  His works have been performed more than 700 times in the last few years by numerous ensembles in over 30 countries.

INTERVIEW: Seismografs ‘Fraværets rigdom’

Moderne Mandag concert with two avant-garde classics that are among the most significant and influential of the 20th century - with almost iconic status. Not only in the classical music environments, but also top names in rock, pop and jazz have referred to them as sources of inspiration. Several Danish composers continue to be indebted to the two composers, who had both been obvious candidates for the Léonie Sonning Music Prize. Gunnar Berg knew both composers personally, he met John Cage as the first Dane in 1949 in Paris, Stockhausen in 1952 in Darmstadt. The two works represent important shifts in the musical composers' musical thinking - away from a writing style that was particularly dominant in early Stockhausen, where everything is regulated by well-organized, complex systems that were increasingly perceived as lock-in, in favor of a simpler, more intuitive and spontaneous way based on random principles, characterized by Indian philosophy, Zen Buddhism and the Chinese I Ching (Book of Transformations). Stockhausen's Procession has only been performed in Denmark once, on 1 June 1967 by Gruppe Stockhausen on a major tour from Helsinki via Stockholm, Oslo, Bergen, Copenhagen and London to the international holiday courses in Darmstadt. John Cage's work is a Danish premiere.
