I RMC Podcast fortæller musikerne og komponisterne Johan Wieth og Thomas Mulcahy Alexandersen om at sætte deres talent i spil på nye måder, for at gøre en forskel.

Det Åbne Ensemble laver improvisationsworkshops for brugere af psykiatrien. Det er er projekt skabt af de to musikere og komponister Johan Wieth (Iceage) og Thomas Mulcahy Alexandersen (Uden Ord, kingtommi) og er et eksempel på begrebet ”det brede kunstnerskab” – altså at fx musikere anvender deres kunstneriske faglighed uden for musikkens traditionelle arenaer og bidrager til at løse samfundets udfordringer.

Det Åbne Ensemble blev til i det obligatoriske praktikforløb (kaldet EKIP) på bacheloruddannelsen på RMC, og er siden blevet modnet i det kreative iværksætterfællesskab SOUND, der også har hjemme på konservatoriet.

Det fortæller Johan og Thomas meget mere om i dette afsnit af RMC Podcast, hvor vi også har besøg af Birgit Bundesen. Hun er psykiater, overlæge samt stifter af Nationalt Center for Kunst og Mental Sundhed, og hun deler erfaringer med at integrere kunstnere og deres faglighed i behandlingstilbuddene for psykiatriske brugere – et felt hun både forsker i og arbejder med til daglig.

Pause, reflect and reset for the year ahead with electronic artist and producer Sandra Vitayarat. As the year turns, Sandra Vitayarat aka the artist and producer Vita Dosa reflects on the past while embracing what lies ahead with her mixtape ‘New Year, New Me’ for RMC Podcast. The carefully curated collection reflects Sandra’s exploration of identity through sound. She believes that we all express who we are through our taste – whether in clothing, music, political views, art, or work – are that she expresses a part of her own identity through this mixtape, where Sandra shares bits of her own music and also shines a light on sounds and ideas she hopes to better understand and connect with in the future. After a whirlwind December, Sandra initiates the mix with a moment of calm, inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and reset for the year ahead.

Claus Haxholm is an artist based in Børkop, Jutland. He graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and is currently in his second year of the Advanced Postgraduate Diploma (APD) program at RMC.

His mixtape explores the theme of miracles, presented as an informal gathering of people sharing music in a listening session. It's somewhat unclear how well these individuals know each other, but they exchange everything from Swedish text compositions to Japanese '70s pop, as well as music by Danish singer-songwriter Pia Raug.

I RMC Podcast dykker musikolog Mimmi Bie ned i klimakrisen set fra kunstnerens perspektiv.

Hvordan bliver klimaforandringer og naturen repræsenteret i vores samtids musik? Og hvordan kan du som musiker og kunstner handle aktivt på klimakrisen?

Vi tager sammen med Mimmi Bie, forskningskoordinator og underviser på RMC, et dybt dyk ned i disse komplekse spørgsmål.

Mimmi Bie er musikolog og underviser på RMC i faget ’Musik, kultur og klimahandling’ dette efterår, hvor de studerende bl.a. stifter bekendtskab med emner som økokritik, dybdeøkologi, mørk økologi og klimaaktivisme i musikken.

A blend captivating through it’s limitations and native languages. Nicolai Rønde-Becker is a musician and songwriter in Danish language projects like Ondskyld and Kyrads, and introduces his RMC Mixtape like this: “The songs, or rather the mixtape, that I’ve put together for you is a reflection of some of my key inspirations – not just for writing the music of my project Ondskyld, but also for how I exist in the world. It’s about why I remain curious about creating music in the way I do. I’ve placed a lot of focus on what I’d call the more amateurish aspects of some of this music. Although I think the artists behind these tracks are incredibly talented and professional, there’s something captivating about the limitations in their abilities. Lately, I’ve been inspired by Swedish and Norwegian music in particular, especially within the realm of rock – though I use that term loosely. I’ve noticed I feel a deeper connection to life when I write in Danish, and I think that’s why I’m more moved by music written in someone’s native language. I could easily make a whole mixtape in English – but my current inspirations are heavily influenced by Swedish, Norwegian, and a bit of French music. Hope you will enjoy.” The intros by Nicolai during the mixtape are in Danish.

Er musikinstrumenter i virkeligheden farlige, og bør man nærme sig dem med den største forsigtighed og aldrig alene? Spiller instrumenterne i virkeligheden på dig og ikke omvendt?
