This is what it sounds like when I think | XENON RESIDENCY

“This is what it sounds like when I think” is an audio-visual performative exploration of how a digital musical instrument (Tankelyd), controlled by the brainwaves of Jeppe Forchhammer, who was born with Cerebral Palsy, can be part of a more accessible sound-creating practice. 

The performance also aims to showcase the possibilities for people with different functional abilities—not only to create sound in new ways but also to experience the freedom of exploring their own creative inner world in collaboration with others. 

“This is what it sounds like when I think” consists of Jeppe Forchhammer (Life Artist), Frederik la Cour (Sound Artist), and Thomas Seidelin (Visual Artist). Together, they have developed the instrument Tankelyd, which the audio-visual performance will explore. 

After the performance, there will be a Q&A session designed for questions, curated to focus on music creation with brainwaves and the role of technology in fostering a more inclusive music environment in Denmark. 

“This is what it sounds like when I think” and Tankelyd mark the first step in a larger vision to push the boundaries of music creation, inspire new collaborations, and challenge musical limits through inclusive interplay across different physical abilities.

XENON RESIDENCY

is a concept where artists within different artistic spheres are given a weeks artistic residency in our black box stage Xenon at the 4th floor in HUSET.

Their residency is an opportunity to create a unique cross-artistic performance only to be experienced that week.
