Red Doors
Lineup
About the Event
Indian classical and British grit meet Norwegian soundscapes in a dynamic collaboration between Patrick Shaw-Iversen (contrabass flute and concert flutes), Harpreet Bansal (Indian classical violin), and Shri Sriram (electric bass and tablas).
Dark and brooding electronics and beats underpin beguiling, melancholic, Indian-infused melodies. Red Door brings together the distinctive sound of Shri’s tabla-influenced bass playing, revered musician Harpreet’s Indian violin, and Patrick Iversen’s distinctively Norwegian and Indonesian flutes with electronics.
This event will last for approximately 110 minutes, including an interval.
About Patrick Shaw Iversen
Patrick Shaw Iversen’s playing encompasses classical, jazz, improvised, and traditional music. Following Western classical studies, an early interest in the flute music of western Java and Bandung, West Java, resulted in commissions for the Oslo World Festival, Arts Council England, and CODA Oslo International Dance Festival. Combining this with his interest in electronics and live sampling has given him an innovative style. His passion for exploring traditional music has also taken him to the polar regions of the Sámi people of the north. He has composed numerous scores for theatre, film, and dance productions, worked with several festivals, and released numerous recordings, including four releases on Jazzland Rec / OK World Records.
