Concert 31/8: MESMER

MESMER consists of the three musicians and composers Emil Jensen, Victor Dybbroe and Anders Filipsen, who have been creating music together the last 15 years in various groups.

MESMER is fascinated by how sound (and lack of) influences us as people and how the different natural and cultural environments create different musical scenarios.

MESMER is a new outfit, but it is at the same time a continuation of a working community that has lasted for 15 years, and which, among other things, has manifested itself in ensembles such as Lydkollektivet NEWCLEAR and Traveling Tribes, with whom they have received 2 DMA’s, as world composers of the year, and performed at Roskilde Festival.
