Djupare under hörtröskeln (Below the Hearing Threshold) is a radio programme about marginal music. Or is it? A presenter invites composers to the studio to talk about their work. But who actually composed The Pitch Shifter's Nightmare?
The two studio guests end up in a fight after both insist on authorship. From there, the broadcast spirals into something more surreal: complex language games, an outside broadcast from a farm, and the interviewer morphing into a career adviser.
In a unique audio experience staged within a special shed outside Deichman Grünerløkka, composer Risto Holopainen has created a playful, sometimes hysterically funny fake radio play about marginal music, and the imagined lives of composers in a mix of fictional contemporary music, intrigue, confusion and absurdist poetry.
The piece includes an exhibition of Holopainen's woodcuts and will be broadcast on RadiOrakel. The performance is split into two episodes of 60 minutes each and will be broadcasted two times daily until 6/10).
