No Spaghetti Edition

• SIDSEL ENDRESEN SOLO
• CHRISTIAN WALLUMRØD SOLO
• HUNTSVILLE
• SILENT BLOCK (Fr) (på Cosmopolite)

A festival for new contemporary jazz with a program that should open new ears. With Sidsel Endresen, Christian Wallumrød, Huntsville and French Silent Block on the program, family visits and meatball dinners should be done away with in the morning, and the evening will be dedicated to No Spaghetti Edition.

No Spaghetti Edition Festival is a traveling music festival. In 2004 they were in Barcelona, ​​in 2005 in Buenos Aires and in 2006 they are in Oslo and Stavanger. The project ensemble No Spaghetti Edition invites musicians from far and wide to an intense festival weekend - every year in new cities. This year, the festival is held in both Oslo and Stavanger. For a complete program for both Stavanger and Oslo, see www.nospaghettiedition.com

The Oslo program:
Sidsel Endresen
Sidsel Endresen is one of our most prominent vocalists, and is currently working on the CD "SOLO" on the label SOFA. At "SOLO" and at these concerts, you can hear Endresen in a pure solo format - with the voice as the only instrument.

Christian Wallumrød
Many people know that Christian is a magician on the piano. If you have heard the album Merriwinkel (with Sidsel Endresen and Helge Sten) and the latest CD for Close Erase, you have realized that he can conjure behind the synths as well. At this festival he gives one of the few solo concerts on synth!

Huntsville
The new band Huntsville has just released their debut album "for the middle class" on Rune Grammofon. They claim they play "mesmerizing yoga genius". Whatever that entails, be sure to bring it with you!
Huntsville is Ivar Grydeland (guitar, banjo, pedal steel guitar, radio), Tonny Kluften (double bass, drum machine) & Ingar Zach (snare drums, sruti boxes, tabla machine, sarangi box, percussion)

Silent Block (Cosmopolite)
Silent Block is a four-headed monster that is a kind of cross between Reodor Felgen, Petter Smart and Serafin. With their inventive homemade instruments and their massive music, they are unforgettable for both ears and eyes.
Silent Block are: Xavier Charles (vibrating speakers and div.), Jérôme Jeanmart (drums, mechanical rhythm boxes, voice, etc.), Frédéric le Junter (homemade instruments, voice) &
Stéphane Levigneront (sound design)
