Performing on Saturday 4 April.

Bendik Giske is an artist and saxophonist using physicality, vulnerability and endurance as his tools of expression. In October 2018, his debut album Surrender was released on Smalltown Supersound early 2019, following the Adjust EP with remixes by Total Freedom and Lotic, as well as Rezzett and Deathprod. Giske takes the building blocks of electronic music and plays it live—without layering or looping, to the best of his ability, allowing all the faults of being human come through. He cites Lindstrom’s arpeggio sounds and Evan Parker’s circular breathing as references, and by combining the two extreme sides of the scale, he seamlessly fuses freeform jazz and club music. As a composer, Giske has made original works for dance and theatre, and as a performer, he is as versatile as he is spellbinding.
