Åsmund Bøe & Kirsten Lindholm Astrup
are students at the National Academy of Art in Oslo, Norway. We are making audiovisualinstallationperformances, but this is a rather unwieldy word so we would rather think ourselves as a band.
We are a band focusing equally on image, sound, and space.

THREE NOCTURNES
FOR AN INSTITUTION
FOR AN INSTITUTION
Bøe & Astrup were invited to make an art project at Fredericia Gymnasium in Denmark. Therefore we created the audiovisualperformanceinstallation "Three Nocturnes for an institution" which unfolded itself the 03.03.2011 at 19.30 and 20.45:
"The audience will enter the huge high school through an entrance in the basement and afterwards be free to wander around and experience the whole building and our music in almost complete darkness. The music will consist of three nocturnes composed for the institution which will be played in almost every corner of the school by live musicians and loudspeakers."
You can listen to three (rough) examples here.
And watch a video presenting the installation.

TURBINHALL 1920
Performace installation and concert in a 1920's turbine hall in Hønefoss, Norway.
We made a music composition for the building and performed it live in the old turbine hall. While we were playing, a man was working to get one of the turbines started. The audience were free to wander around and discover the old building and the hidden upper rooms.
The project was a part of Hønefoss Filmfestival. Duration of the concert: 1 hour (21:00 - 22:00).
