Vi har fået påbud fra kommunen om, at vi ikke længere må spille højt til koncerter - i praksis vil vi ikke længere kunne spille livemusik, hvilket er grundlaget for vores driftstøtte og eksistens.
Nabobygningen er opført med utilstrækkelig lydisolering, og under byggeriet advarede vi om, at det kunne føre til problemer, og det er nu gået i opfyldelse.
We have received a request from the municipality, stating that we can no longer play loud music at concerts - this means in practice that we can no longer play livemusic, which is the bedrock of our existence.
The neighboring apartments have bad sound isolation, which is something we warned about, when they constructed it.
When putting three fine exponents of modern, forward-thinking and experimental music in the
same room, the hope is that something a little special is going to be the result. Yodok III are
exactly that, all three recognisable by their contribution and yet forced to go beyond that by
the other two. Yodok III is primarily a study in avantgarde, but elements of genres as diverse as
jazz, (post)rock and even classical can be heard playing their part in this mind-bending
tapestry.
YODOKIII' debut LP (vinyl-only) was released to worldwide critical acclaim on Tonefloat's A New
Wave Of Jazz imprint. YODOKIII's follow-up and epic double vinyl 'THE SKY FLASHES, THE GREAT
SEA YEARNS' was released on January 16th 2015. This release is a tour-de-force, over the course
of just 3 days in the Sunny Side Inc. studio in Brussels (Belgium) YODOKIII performed and
recorded a set of 4 improvised pieces of sheer beauty, power and harmony, bridging genres
like post-rock, avantgarde, freejazz and shoegaze into one harmonious glow of pure bliss.
Now Belgium’s Consouing Sounds released their majestic performance at Dokkhuset in
Trondheim last year on compact disc. YODOK III is a live band, proof are they amazing
passages at ROADBURN and DUNK! Festival 2016.
TOMAS JÄRMYR : DRUMS.
Born 1987 in Sweden, currently based in Trondheim (Norway). Tomas has been playing drums
his entire life and started to study jazz and improvisation at an early age. He arrived in
Trondheim in 2008 and has since obtained both a bachelor and master degree from the
renowned Jazz department at the NTNU(Norwegian University of Science and Technology).
Tomas is teaching drums and rhythmic ear training at NTNU since 2011. With one foot in rock/
metal and the other in jazz/improv, combined with wild creativity, extreme energy and
presence, Tomas drumming is something unique. He’s involved with bands and projects that
are operating within genres like jazz, free jazz, improv, pop, rock, metal, grindcore, sludge,
doom, drone, noise, ambient, punk, hardcore… Not rarely more or less combined. He’s a
member of Sunswitch, The Void Of Expansion, The MaXx, Werl, ZU and MOTORPSYCHO.
KRISTOFFER LO : TUBA, FLUGABONE.
Kristoffer has redefined the use of tuba and it’s role in band. From it’s traditional role as the lowend
in symphony orchestras and Dixieland bands, Kristoffer has taken the instrument to a new
direction, filling the position as the ultra low end in metal-and noise bands.
With a bunch of electronics and huge amps, Kristoffer’s tuba sounds like a low-end monster
and a high pitched squeal at the same time. With education from the famous Jazz department
at NTNU in Trondheim, and as a member of bands like Pelbo, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra,
microtub, Sunswitch and Highasakite, he has built up a solid reputation in both Norway and
Europe.
