With concert by Supersilent (no)
At transmediale 2012 The Joshua Light Show presents its light projections for the first time in Europe since the 1960s. Thousands of kilograms of equipment have been packed into boxes, shipped to Berlin, and installed on stage in the Auditorium. Once in place, the magical-psychedelic gadgetry will be fired into action, overwhelming and sweeping the audience into the past, the present, and into places they have never been before. Together with CTM.12 – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts, transmediale has initiated a series of special collaborations with musicians, bringing together historical and contemporary sounds. Tonight JLS are joined by the band Supersilent and the guitarist Stian Westerhus from Norway.
Supersilent (no)
Supersilent is a Norwegian improvisational band formed in Bergen in 1997. The current band members are Arve Henriksen (trumpet), Ståle Storløkken (keyboards) and Helge Sten (electronics). 1998 saw the release of Supersilent’s debut album 1-3. Supersilent 6 is considered by many to be a particular highlight. While the band’s earlier work was often propelled by drums and harsh electronic treatments, the bands sound has gradually become more meditative and expansive. After the departure of their drummer Supersilent has continued to perform extensively as a trio and has meanwhile released the albums 9, 10 and 11.
For their show at transmediale 2012 Supersilent will be joined by guitarist Stian Westerhus from Norway.
Stian Westerhus
Stian Westerhus is one of Norway’s most in demand young musicians playing in bands like Monolithic (with Kenneth Kapstad from Motorpsycho), Puma, Nils Petter Molvaer Group and more. For the last few years Stian Westerhus has put more and more energy into challenging the electric guitar alone on a stage. Having been blessed with little or no respect for the instrument his performances balance raw expressiveness, virtuosity and melodic instinct utilizing his Norwegian heritage as well as growing up listening to Slayer. With a soundscape far beyond the standard guitar he seeks to push the boundaries for improvised music across the muddy waters of genres.
This event is a collaboration between transmediale and CTM – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts.

...Mit Konzert von Supersilent (no)
Auf der transmediale 2012 präsentiert die Joshua Light Show zum ersten Mal seit den 1960er Jahren ihre analogen Lichtprojektionen in Europa. Tausende Kilo Equipment wurden in Kisten verpackt, nach Berlin verschifft und auf der Bühne des Auditoriums installiert. Dort werden die magisch-psychedelischen Apparate angeworfen, die Zuschauer zurück in die Vergangenheit befördert, in der Gegenwart überwältigt und in Sphären befördert, die sie noch nie zuvor erlebt haben.
Gemeinsam mit dem CTM.12 – Festival for Adventurous Music and Related Arts hat die transmediale eine Reihe ganz besonderer Kooperationen mit Musikern initiiert, die ihrerseits historische und aktuelle Klänge miteinander verbinden. Heute Abend tritt die JLS mit der Band Supersilent und dem Gitarristen Stian Westerhus aus Norwegen auf.
Supersilent (no)
Supersilent ist eine norwegische Improv-Band, die 1997 in Bergen gegründet wurde. Sie besteht derzeit aus Helge Sten (Elektronik), Arve Henriksen (Trompete) und Ståle Storløkken (Keyboard). 1998 entstand das Debutalbum 1-3. Das Supersilent-Album 6 gilt für viele als besonderes Highlight. Wobei die früheren Stücke der Band oft noch von den Drums und rauer Elektronik vorangetrieben wurden, hat sich der Stil der Band langsam zu meditativeren und expansiveren Sounds hinbewegt. Nach dem Ausstieg ihres Schlagzeugers, haben die restlichen Supersilent-Mitglieder als Trio weitergemacht und mittlerweile die Albem 9, 10 und 11 produziert.
