The concert was\u00a0performed on the Black Diamond\u2019s large 12-channel sound system. The evening began\u00a0with excerpts from Solkreds, an outdoor sound installation that Wayne Siegel has created for the momument Dodekalitten: an enormous stone circle located at Kragen\u00e6s on the island of Lolland. Solkreds can be heard daily from sunrise to sunset, creating unpredictable changing sonic settings for the monument\u2019s huge sculptures that were carved out of solid granite by the Danish sculptor Thomas Kadziola.<\/p>\n<p>For this evening\u2019s concert the musicians improvised with Solkreds and gradually a new work emerged: November Ritual. The work was commissioned by the Black Diamond with financial support from the Danish Arts Foundation and is made up of a fixed composed framework with room for improvisation. Using specially developed software, Wayne Siegel controls sounds and their placement in the space by moving his hands in front of the computer\u2019s camera. The soloists join the electronic sounds to create a tapestry of melodies and harmonies around them.<\/p>\n<p>After an intermezzo with works for harp and trumpet by Palle Mikkelborg and Helen Davies, the evening was\u00a0concluded with a version of M\u00f8rk er November (Dark is November) arranged by Wayne and Mira Siegel for voice, trumpet, harp and electronics. This Danish melody dates back to the Middle Ages, while the lyrics were written by the Danish poet Thorkild Bj\u00f8rnvig in 1959.<\/p>\n<h2>Program<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Solkreds<\/strong><br \/>\n12 channel electronic music created for the monument Dodekalitten<br \/>\n(starts before the concert begins as background music)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solkreds improvisations<\/strong><br \/>\nPalle Mikkelborg, trumpet<br \/>\nHelen Davies, harp<br \/>\nMira Siegel, vocals<\/p>\n<p><strong>November Ritual<\/strong><br \/>\nWayne Siegel, motion-tracking system<br \/>\nPalle Mikkelborg, trumpet<br \/>\nHelen Davies, harp<br \/>\nMira Siegel, vocals<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moon of Light<\/strong><br \/>\nPalle Mikkelborg, trumpet<br \/>\nHelen Davies, harp<\/p>\n<p><strong>M\u00f8rk er november<\/strong><br \/>\nMira Siegel, vocals<br \/>\nWayne Siegel, computer<br \/>\nPalle Mikkelborg, trumpet<br \/>\nHelen Davies, harp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excerpt from November Ritual at the Black Diamond in Copenhagen, November 9th 2019<br \/>\nFeaturing Palle Mikkelborg, trumpet, Helen Davies, harp, Mira Siegel, vocals and Wayne Siegel, electronics<br \/>\nNovember Ritual is a tribute to dark times.
