Curgenven makes the point that sounds are fundamental to our perception of the world... hearing the complexities of a place and time is intersected by memories of the familiar which are in turn displaced and transformed.”
Robert Curgenven is a sound artist drawing on the physicality of sound - not just the physical impact on the body but the way in which the auditory can shape our perception of space and the flow of time, from architectural to open space. The piece Curgenven is presenting at Oslo10, 'They Tore The Earth...', is a visceral psychogeography of settler colonialism via field recordings from remote areas in Australia where he lived for many years, pipe organ, guitars, dubplates and video.

& Gargaud Gomez Duo Konzert.
Guillaume Gargaud and JP Gomez form this powerful intense duo playing improvised music that encompasses violence and expressionism as much as sweetness and minimalism.
"Rough stridencies, chirpings and gurgles gush from the bowels of a loop, analog and antediluvian console or synthesizer (also analog), the 'vocals' are cartoony and cyclothymic guitar. It's full of bumps, reefs, nooks and humour." LE NONJAZZ Paris.
