Eight guest curators leading the way

As a new way of programming, Wundergrund has invited eight Danish and international guest curators to program parts of this year’s festival. They have been given a free hand to suggest exactly the musicians/artists/composers that they find the idea of cutting edge music anno 2009.  The eight guest curators are: The indie-singer Jomi Massage; Berlin based composer and pianist Reinhold Friedl¸ composer Karsten Fundal; the multitalent of the Copenhagen indie scene Frederik Thaae; the Rechenzentrum co-founder Marc Weiser; the previous Sort Sol guitarist Lars Top-Galia; composer and drummer Simon Christensen and composer Jexper Holmen, who is featured with a portrait concert at this year’s Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.

Pre-Wunder with icons in the dome

Wundergrund jumps the gun already October 23! Under the dome of the Marble Church, the cofounder of Einstürtzende Neubaten Blixa Bargeld meets the legendary sound artist Alva Noto. The same night you can experience the only 19-year-old singer, pianist and electronic wunderkind Anja Plaschg aka SOAP&SKIN, whose uncompromised and timeless expression mixes styles from Sergej Rachmanikov, Velvet Underground, Arvo Pärt and Björk. There is also a Wunder-prestart October 29, with among others Bjørn Svin and Jacob Kirkegaard in the Concert church...

The breake down of the sound barrier!
