A new generation Danish duo fascinated by noise and experimentation. The project, set up in 2009 by Christian Stadsgaard and Loke Rahbeek, combines many different elements. From cacophonous noises and disjointed moments of sonic chaos to slow synthesiser improvisations. Drifting through the multitude of influences is like wandering in a huge supermarket of ideas, where everything is at your fingertips. The final result and perception are the products of many interdependencies. They’re not just about the music. Free from all constraints, the way of creation delivered by Damien Dubrovnik fascinates a considerable young audience thirsty for novelty. Damien Dubrovnik performed at Unsound, where their performance was supported by the Sinfonietta Cracovia philharmonic orchestra. Each guise brings a new face of the (anti)concept and can be a complete contradiction of the preceding one. In the project’s offering to follow, the disjointed noise was complemented by gloomy drones and various shades ambient – from dark or quite easy to digest. The development of the musical formula never stops here. [ws]
