After a critically acclaimed and sold-out spring tour, 1900 – An audiovisual concert is back this fall.
Behind the name 1900 hides the versatile composer, artist and sound artist Christian Gabel. Using old-fashioned recording equipment and an unbeatable sense of minimalist melodies, he revisits and reworks the previous century in noisy sound collages. In 2018, ten years after the self-titled debut album, the Orion Theater was taken over to perform the music on stage for the first time. A concert series that today is almost considered a classic.
The 1900 project has become an unlikely success story where many people have taken the instrumental music to their hearts. The song The smallest of victories has become a hit and has appeared frequently on various TV shows. The debut was followed in 2016 by the album Tekno, which also used collages of sounds and melodies captured with analog tape recorders to create a world of its own. A world that fully comes into its own on stage.
In the spring of 2024, a third 1900 album, Kontragarde, was released. An album that revolves around artistic creation in general and the idea of avant-garde in particular. With his audiovisual concert, Gabel has created a format where film meets music in a hypnotic flow, something you will have the chance to experience on October 23 at Science Village Hall in Lund.
Tickets go on sale Friday 30/5 at 10.00:XNUMX AM.
