CRRNT Collective består af syv musikere fra syv forskellige lande, der alle er baseret i og forbundet gennem den livlige eksperimentelle musikscene i København. Siden 2022 har kollektivet arrangeret adskillige koncerter, udgivet et dusin nye plader under deres eget label og haft som mission at skabe rum for mindre anerkendt kunst, så den kan møde det publikum den fortjener.
Širom:
En helt særlig oplevelse venter, når den slovenske trio Širom giver koncert. På scenen bevæger de tre musikere Ana Kravanja, Samo Kutin og Iztok Koren sig elegant mellem mere end 20 instrumenter – mange af dem hjemmebyggede – og skaber hypnotiske kompositioner, der langsomt folder sig ud som drømme, man kan lade sig synke ned i. Široms lyd skaber associationer til både slovensk folkemusik, fjernøstlig musik og afrikanske musikformer og klinger på samme tid kosmisk og minimalistisk. Med deres nyeste og femte album på ikoniske Glitterbeat Records tager Širom endnu et dristigt skridt ind i et musikalsk univers, hvor traditionelle forestillinger om folkemusik opløses og genopstår i nye, uventede former. Vi glæder os til at opleve den hæderkronede trio, når de giver koncert på ALICE for anden gang.
“Širom fashion maximalist avant-garde soundscapes from antique acoustic instruments like the balafon and hurdy gurdy. Their artfully rootless roots music makes an impassioned statement both aesthetically and, more opaquely, politically too.” – Uncut
Undercurrent:
Undercurrent er det musikalske udtryk for CRRNT Collective – et band bestående af medlemmerne af CRRNT Collective. Hos Undercurrent fletter forskellige musikalske rødder sig ind i hinanden og skaber et levende, foranderligt lydrum. Her mødes free jazz, improvisation, lyriske fortællinger og eksperimenterende teksturer i et fælles sprog, der vokser direkte ud af gruppens dybe dedikation til kollektiv skabelse. Ensemblets syv musikere bærer hver deres kulturelle arv og musikalske visioner ind i rummet og hver koncert er et åbent værk – en mulighed for at udforske nye former, lytte ind i hinandens idéer og skabe noget, der kun kan opstå i nuet. Ensemblets lyd bevæger sig fra det poetisk stille til det kraftfuldt eksplosive, altid med en tydelig sans for nærvær og relationer mellem musikerne. Undercurrent har både optrådt lokalt og internationalt, og vi glæder os til de indtager ALICE denne aften.
Line-up:
Flavia Huarachi Jørgensen (BO/DK) – vokal, fløjte
Laura Zöschg (IT) – vokal, fløjte
Jon Sensmeier (DE) – tenor sax
Ben Rodney (UK) – trompet
Luka Zabric (SI) – alt sax
Aurelijus Užameckis (LT) – kontrabas
Ivar Myrset Asheim (NO) – trommer
Mariam Rezaei:
Den prisvindende komponist, turntablist og performer Mariam Rezaei bevæger sig ubesværet mellem eksperimenterende ny musik, fri improvisation, mutant club og hiphop – og hun gør det med en virtuositet, der har fået internationale kritikere til at spærre øjnene op. The Wire har kaldt Rezaei “en af de mest teknisk dygtige og kreativt frygtløse kunstnere, der bruger turntables som instrument”. Med et digitalt vinylsystem former hun et nærmest uendeligt katalog af samples i realtid og skaber et udtryk, der føles både råt, legesygt og futuristisk. Ud over klassiske turntablist-teknikker som scratches og beat-juggles har hun udviklet sine egne, hvor hun styrer sinussvingninger via pitchslideren. Det er turntablism som komposition. Mariam Rezaei har indgået i samarbejder med bl.a. The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters med Mette Rasmussen, Turntable Trio med Evicshen og Maria Chávez, Pat Thomas, Valentina Magaletti, Okkyung Lee og mange flere. Hendes seneste soloudgivelse “FRACTURED” blev hyldet af bl.a. Bandcamp Daily og The Quietus.
Koncerten er en del af Vinterjazz 2026 – en landsdækkende festival som finder sted fra 30. januar-28. februar. Mere info via www.jazz.dk

In English:
The young Copenhagen-based music collective CRRNT Collective presents an evening of improvisational devotion and ever-shifting sonic landscapes at ALICE. Experience the formidable and album-fresh Slovenian avant-folk trio Širom, the virtuosic composer and turntablist Mariam Rezaei, and CRRNT Collective’s own experimental seven-piece ensemble Undercurrent.
CRRNT Collective consists of seven musicians from seven different countries, all based in and connected through Copenhagen’s vibrant experimental music scene. Since 2022, the collective has hosted numerous concerts, released a dozen new records on their own label, and pursued a mission to create space for under-recognized art and connect it with the audience it deserves.
Širom:
A truly special experience awaits when the Slovenian trio Širom takes the stage. The three musicians — Ana Kravanja, Samo Kutin, and Iztok Koren — move elegantly between more than 20 instruments, many of them homemade, creating hypnotic compositions that slowly unfold like dreams you can sink into. Širom’s sound evokes associations with Slovenian folk, Far Eastern music, and various African traditions, while at the same time resonating with a cosmic and minimalist quality. With their newest and fifth album on the iconic Glitterbeat Records, Širom take yet another bold step into a musical universe where traditional ideas of folk music dissolve and reappear in new, unexpected forms. We look forward to welcoming the acclaimed trio back to ALICE for their second concert here.

Undercurrent:
Undercurrent is the musical expression of CRRNT Collective – a band formed by the members of the collective itself. In Undercurrent, different musical roots intertwine to create a living, ever-changing sonic space. Here, free jazz, improvisation, lyrical storytelling, and experimental textures converge in a shared language that grows directly out of the group’s deep dedication to collective creation. Each of the ensemble’s seven musicians brings their own cultural heritage and artistic vision into the room, and every concert becomes an open work – an opportunity to explore new forms, listen to each other’s ideas, and create something that can only arise in the moment. Their sound moves from poetically quiet to powerfully explosive, always with a strong sense of presence and connection between the musicians. Undercurrent has performed both locally and internationally, and we are excited to welcome them to the ALICE stage.
Line-up:
Flavia Huarachi Jørgensen (BO/DK) – vocals, flute
Laura Zöschg (IT) – vocals, flute
Jon Sensmeier (DE) – tenor sax
Ben Rodney (UK) – trumpet
Luka Zabric (SI) – alto sax
Aurelijus Užameckis (LT) – double bass
Ivar Myrset Asheim (NO) – drums
Mariam Rezaei:
Award-winning composer, turntablist and performer Mariam Rezaei moves effortlessly between experimental contemporary music, free improvisation, mutant club and hip hop – and she does so with a virtuosity that has made international critics take notice. The Wire has described Rezaei as “one of the most technically gifted and creatively fearless artists using turntables as an instrument.” Using a digital vinyl system, she shapes an almost infinite catalogue of samples in real time, creating an expression that feels raw, playful, and futuristic. Alongside classic turntablist techniques such as scratching and beat-juggling, she has developed her own approaches, including controlling sine waves with the pitch slider. It is turntablism as composition. Rezaei has collaborated on numerous projects, including The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters with Mette Rasmussen, Turntable Trio with Evicshen and Maria Chávez, as well as Pat Thomas, Valentina Magaletti, Okkyung Lee, and many others. Her latest solo release, FRACTURED, has been praised by outlets such as Bandcamp Daily and The Quietus.
The concert is part of Vinterjazz 2026 – a nationwide festival taking place from January 30 to February 28. More info at www.jazz.dk
