interinterinterview

This is an email interview from spring 2009 between Eirik from Ultima and David Helbich from interinterinter about their plans in Oslo the same year, but also about their general attitude and concepts:

What is InterInterInter planning to do at the Ultima Festival?

InterInterInter is of course doing its InterInterInter show, which consists of three parts: a piece by Matthew, one by David and the live bookbinding by David and Ping* (two davids here!). The two pieces are the same as in Bergen, but we always work out some parts differently. VORSPIEL will for example enlarge the last part with the flying recorder...

The bookbinding part always experiences a site-specific setting. Already the printing (which happens in between the pieces) needs to relate to the size of the tables, the amount of expected audience numbers, etc. Therefore we also change the specific prints: namely the audience interactive tasks and games. Not only for practical reasons, but we are still learning about the working and the fun of our requests. And fun it should be!

Ultima reaction!

There ensemble asamisimasa and the British Inter Inter Inter both can be said to have the same dedicated and playful approach to what new music can be assumed asamisimasa their interpretations conducted, djuptpløyande and with great perfection, against the hine his humor, job performances. The variation between them worked well with asamisimasa's interpretation of Øyvind Torvund his "Themes from The Neon Forest Spaces" as a preliminary zenith.
