SOUND is a scenic band project based in Stavanger

SOUND is a scenic band project based in Stavanger. The band has an exciting line-up consisting of two vocalists, double bass, saxophone and dance. Here, dance and music are equal in both sound and visuals - as one unit. This creates a space where the performers can explore and play with the division of roles and interaction in the band.

Conveying emotions is central to the project. Through text, music and dance, they want to capture the nuances of the emotional life of an ordinary person, and with that comes vulnerability, anger and "sass". Inspired by musicians such as Beyoncé, Esperanza Spalding and John Coltrane, the music is a cross between jazz and pop, with elements of free improvisation, spoken word, spoken word
improvisation, spoken-word, fat bass grooves and catchy melodies.

During the break, the band SOUND will perform with elements of freer improvisation, spoken-word, fat bass grooves and catchy melodies. Check out their performance from Bjærgstedfestivalen at Loftet at TOU, November 2023 here!
