Love Your Latency – Live at Kilden

Love your Latency is a unique and thought-provoking concert experience. The concert takes place simultaneously in Kilden and at the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo. You will meet four musicians on stage in Kristiansand, interacting with four musicians on stage in Oslo. The technology enables the vigilantly listening musicians to play together despite the great geographical distance. The concert halls are filled with musicians who are physically present, and sound and video transmission from the musicians located 320 km away. Together, the musicians explore interaction and improvisation over the internet.

An Extended Here and Now

The audience in Oslo and the audience in Kristiansand will experience the same concert, but view it from completely different angles. At the same time, the concert format creates an unusual artistic frameworks for the musicians as well. The travel time for sound and image between Kristiansand and Oslo, and the awareness that there are two different physical spaces, two different audience groups being united, creates a unique situation. “Here and now” is actually not identical in the two concert halls. Or put another way – the concert challenges what we usually consider as “here and now”. In this way, the musicians challenge and explore important interpersonal principles such as presence, listening, and community.
