    Limited edition pink marble vinyl LP of 'Basically' by Nikima Jagudajev, Jordan Balaber and Lester St. Louis.

    “Basically” is a collaboration between choreographer Nikima Jagudajev and composers Jordan Balaber and Lester St. Louis, created as an accompaniment to Jagudajev’s exhibition at the Bergen Kunsthall from October 2020 to April 2021.

    The record contains two pieces, “Orbit Arps” and “Krampus”, which function as a musical diptych, and capture embellished snapshots of two core musical atmospheres contained within the “Basically” live performance.

Re-Imagine Europe is initiated by Sonic Acts (NL) and coordinated by Paradiso (NL) in collaboration with Elevate Festival (AT), Lighthouse (UK), INA GRM (FR), Kontejner (HR), Landmark / Bergen Kunsthall (NO), A4 (SK), Disruption Network Lab (DE) and Ràdio Web MACBA (ES)

about

“Krampus” was assembled through a similarly collage-like process. The track centers two late-night long-take improvisations on detuned electric guitars by Balaber & St. Louis recording in Queens, New York in October 2020. The track is suffused with conceptual / spiritual / thematic direction from Jagudajev, and interweaves vocals from Jagudajev and a field recording of Poutsma & Aarvik playing the material in the massive, reverberant foyer of the Kunsthall, as well as excerpts from Jenkins’ “Orbit Arps” pianos.
