Welcome to the regenerative laboratory for music & science research & reflection.
In Regen:Lab we invite musicians and scientists to give insights about their practice. The musicians and scientists are invited to look for connections in each other's practices and share findings with the audience. After their presentation, you are invited to take part in the conversation.
In a time of division you’re invited to look for integration & connections, reciprocity & coincidences.
Between: Music & Science. Humans & Non-humans. Songs & Sea Stars. Riddles & Rhythms. Timbers & Tentacles. Compost & Composition. Threads & Pitches. Myths & Mycelium. Neurons & Water Cycles.
In this very first version of Regen:Lab the panel will consist of sharings by Margrethe Møller, Agnes Schmidt and Martin Grünfeldt. The conversation will be moderated by Jakob Nordli Leirvik, who is currently a Master's student at RMC.
The event will be held in English. We invite everyone of interest to come and enrich the evening with diverse expressions, comments and questions. Let's practice how to regenerate together.
About the sharing panel:
Agnes Schmidt has the art-pop project Agnes Ea. She writes songs about friendships, nature, love, and growing up in a time of crisis. With her band she arranges and produces the songs, to become small universes you can escape into. Places to dream, rage, love and mourn from. Mixing a Nordic folk sound with fluttering electronic elements, she creates tactile art-pop. When performing she is often inspired by rituals, interacting with site specific elements, and finding ways to co-create the room with the audience.
Margrethe Møller is a songwriter, musician and performer with a bachelor degree in sociology and environmental studies. Her work engages with our connections and responses to the ecological crises. This gets expressed both in her alt-pop project Møller and her ”Jordisk Lyd” workshops. She works with regenerative and embodied practices, planting seeds of hope and courage to act for a better world with care in communities.
Together Agnes and Margrethe have initiated a community for musicians and sound artists who expresses and explores our connections to nature, the current ecological crises and the potential for transformation, through music. They want to create a uniting platform which emphasizes the urgency while exposing the great potentials and co-creational forces needed in our times.
Martin Grünfeld is an assistant professor in science communication at the University of Copenhagen. He holds a PhD in continental philosophy from University College Dublin but often finds himself working in the intersections between disciplines and engaging in transdisciplinary collaborations with artists, communicators and curators involving other organisms. Currently, he is developing his research in arts-based science communication focusing on issues around sustainability and biodiversity through sound art and ecopoetics.
