Here are some pics from the Castel dei Mondi Off concerts that I produced together with Riccardo Carbutti for the city of Andria, Italy.
Thanks Mariselena for nice photos!

| Prelude: 12 x Lost Luggage |
|
 |
| 23:30 Erik Petersen is asked to describe how their 12 lost pieces of luggage look |
|
|
Most artists who chose to change planes in Rome FCO lost their luggage.
In the end all of it turned up after 24 hours - just in time for their gigs.
Conclusion: Avoid Fiumcino Airport or start playing flute.

| 00:15 Bengt starts playing flute in the arrival area. Note the dancing girls in the background :-) |

A collaboration between:
Per Boysen • Stockholm (live-looping flute, sax, guitar and harmonica)
Eva Almér • Malmö (vocals and looped voices)
Costas Andreou • Athens (live looping bass)
Eric Forsmark • Giovinazzo (canvas with contact mikes and cajón)
We met 2 days before our gig and put together a 55 min piece called MÖTE, which attempts to describe the 4 phases in any deep encounter between human beings:
1. Hesitation / Curiosity
2. Excitement / Euforia
3. Clashes / Conflict & Withdrawal
4. Synthesis
Both Eric and Eva wireless video cameras mounted on their heads and the images were projected live beside the stage.

| The piece begins with Per & Eva |

| I like the cajón a lot. It is a simple instrument that can produce a multitude of sounds. |

Two cool ladies took on the stage on saturday 2 sep. A perfect match between two voices and a violoncello.

|
 |
| Lise Hummel ... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| ... who met Gertrud Stenung when studying music in Stockholm |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| ... with a special chemistry beween them |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| Lots of power |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The highest wish of any musician is that you and your instrument become one. It was obvious for everyone in the audience that Gertrud has achieved this.
Her playing is very powerful and inventive - yet performed without any effort. |
