The Sonica Sequence is an installment in Swedish musician and composer Lisa Nordström’s ongoing project to meet international musicians and create improvised, site-specific sessions at different locations in the world. In this ongoing project, Lisa Nordström has traveled with her electronic instruments to Cuba, Japan, Cyprus and Indonesia in order to let improvised music form the basis of encounters with new musicians, by staging unexpected musical encounters between people from different cultures in locations ranging from abandoned and overgrown ballrooms, to subways and back alleys. This cinematic homage to people, places, and the sounds we create together proves that it is possible to communicate through music on a global journey.
In this event, we will presenting the 2017 documentary of these unique musical meetings, produced by Nordström and Pether Lindgren, followed by an exclusive, improvised live audio-visual performance from the artists and their guests. Lisa Nordström & Pether Lindgren will also present a Q&A after the performance.
