WHY KAI
CONCERT/CLUB
KAI & ELIAS ARE TAKING OVER
SCENE3 AT DET NORSKE TEATRET!
SCENE3 (5th FLOOR) AT DET NORSKE TEATRET,
Kristian IVs gate 8, 0164 Oslo
WHY KAI is pianist and electronic musician Kai von der Lippe. Together with Elias Tafjord, they are about to bless the SCENE3 stage with sick “club” music you’ve never experienced before!
Rather than simply create standard dance music with repetitive elements as an accompaniment to improvised solos, Kai instead creates carefully composed and evolving pieces where sounds from the jazz and improv scenes are seamlessly blended with danceable rhythms and heavy bass, as well as incorporating field recordings.
Multiple moods appear throughout his album Deep Fishing, from the impatient shuffle of «Water Dance», the stumbling melodic ambience of «Pling», the upbeat cognitive disco of «Wherever», the mellow, yet somehow slightly tense «Crab», to the retrofuturism of «Futuma».

“These boys are insane, I have no idea what goes on in my body when they play, but I can’t stop grooving. It’s a musical catharsis fo’ sho!”
