ALMA LAPILLI (STILL, Cardone, Barbaro)(IT)

FRIDAY
21:30

ALMA LAPILLI is the new live project from STILL (Simone Trabucchi), born in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Raffaele Cardone and Vesuvian tammorra singer Romeo Barbaro. Conceived in Napoli, within the storied walls of Auditorium Novecento, it grows like a living archive of sounds, rooted in place, yet reaching beyond it.

At its core lies the “fronna”, a word that means “leaf” in the local dialect – but in Neapolitan tradition carries a far deeper resonance. It is an improvised song, often unaccompanied, a vessel for emotions, fragments of daily life, or whispered invocations.

Its rhythm is free, its melody winding and melismatic, shaped by breath and memory. Voices tangle with machines, echoes of hand drums reverberate like distant thunder, and breath itself becomes rhythm. What emerges is not nostalgia but a volatile present: a music that smolders at the edge of memory, and sparks into something wholly new.

FRIDAY
19:15

Copenhagen Clarinet Choir & Anders Lauge Meldgaard is an innovative collaboration bringing together the celebrated Danish composer and multi-instrumentalist Anders Lauge Meldgaard with the adventurous ensemble Copenhagen Clarinet Choir. Their collaborative album, Jeux d’eau, released in November 2025 was conceived as a tribute to water and a reflection on the fragile bond between humans and the natural world. Through fluid forms and open notations, the work draws listeners into a space where music mirrors the dynamics of nature which demands real-time awareness, collective sensitivity, and respect for balance.

Demeters Döttrar(SE/DK)

THURSDAY
19:30

Listening to Demeters Döttrar is like stepping into a parallel universe; a tiny unexplored corner with paper-thin walls or a very delicate bubble that is about to burst at any moment. The instrumentation is sparse and mainly consists of guitar, vocals, prepared tapes and occasional harmonica. The recurrence of rain in different forms throughout the recording almost functions as a percussive backbone at times, the one thing except for the sound of the actual room that sort of keeps it all together.

Elvin Brandhi(UK)

FRIDAY
22:45

Elvin Brandhi is an improvising lyricist, producer and sound artist from Bridgend, Wales, who builds aberrant beats from field recordings, tape, vinyl, instrument and voice.

Using sound and voice as an expansive language transgressing intrinsic systemics and inherited syntactical etiquettes, her live shows are unyielding bursts of erupting animation where her caustic stream of consciousness cavorts with restless, glitched out heaviness. Her creative momentum comprises a range of collaborations and an endless nomadism.

Finlay Shakespeare(UK)

FRIDAY
00:45

Crafting restless synth-pop from a background in DIY electronics and modular design, the London-based artist and modular synth head Finlay Shakespeare bridges the hooks of ’80s icons with the grit of experimental sound. His albums channel melodic intensity through analog circuitry, raw vocals, and dense rhythmic energy. Live, he blends charismatic performance with hands-on modular rig improvisation, landing somewhere between post-punk urgency and electronic futurism.

SATURDAY
20:45

For Festival of Endless Gratitude 2025, G·Bop Orchestra presents a special show featuring early works by American-British singer and composer Scott Walker, performed in new arrangements by G·Bop Orchestra, resculpturing Scott Walker's iconic in a sparse, sensual and percussion-heavy universe.

Led by percussionist and composer Greta Eacott, the band has released five albums (recorded in one take in various non-studio environments) and toured across Europe with an ever evolving line-up of musicians.

Their high tension acoustic live shows bring fresh and abstract musical ideas together with a clarity and direction, making the G.Bop orchestra as at home touring with a pop band as they are in an art gallery.

Heidemann / Mingot / Klint(DK/US)

THURSDAY
22:00

Musicians Villads Klint, Frederik Heidemann, and Victoria Mingot shape an ever-shifting language composed of soft noise, patience, proximity and distance. Flute, zither, acoustic guitar, and keyboard meet for textural flights and landings. Sculpted by improvisational ponderance and long-form listening, the trio seeks to create dwelling spaces that both embrace and challenge immediacy. All the while building soft, raw sonic structures that meld both the electronic and acoustic.

Ian Nagoski(US)

SATURDAY
16:00

Ian Nagoski is a music researcher and record producer in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Over the past 20 years, his work has primarily focused on immigrant performers from the Near East and Eastern Europe who made records in the U.S. between 1910 and 1950. He has produced dozens of CDs, LPs, and cassettes for labels including Dust-to-Digital, Tompkins Square, Mississippi, Oma333, Important, and others, as well as over 150 digital releases on his own Canary label. Parts of his work have been exhibited as installations at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, the Peabody Museum in Baltimore, and numerous other venues.

At FOEG Ian Nagoski will present None of Us Know the Words: Immigrants, Natives, and the Holes in 20th Century Americana, a talk that tells the story of the formation of a mythic American identity after World War II through the wonderful musics that were left out of the story — those of the continent's native populations and the massive influx of non-English-speaking immigrants between 1880 and 1920, whose recorded output from 1910-40 equaled the production of all English-language material in both quality and in quantity. It is an enthusiastic and fascinating look into the U.S. before its hegemony dominated much of the globe, and a cautionary tale to take notice of music in the margins.

Josie(DK)

SATURDAY
23:15

Josie is Copenhagen’s newest head-in-the-clouds, in-the-gut heartbreak jangle pop group, formed in 2023, consisting of four friends Charlotte, Dawn, Martin and Anton. Their sound has solid roots in indie pop but updates the classic formula ever so slightly with a current punk sensibility, making sure to keep a bit of fuck you in the mix.

Kathryn Mohr(US)

FRIDAY
20:15

The music of Oakland-based singer-songwriter and multi-media artist Kathryn Mohr exists in a liminal space of auditory dissociation. Drawing inspiration from lost items washing up on the shore of the San Francisco Bay, Mohr’s art chases the ephemeral nature of humanity, the warping of memory, and how trauma changes one's experience of this world. Mohr depicts the disturbing intricacies of her mind, transforming dull discomfort into a creative resource, a spring of creativity that pushes her world outside of herself.

KMRU(KE)

THURSDAY
20:45

Joseph Kamaru, aka KMRU, is a Nairobi-born, Berlin-based sound artist whose work is grounded on the discourse of field recording, noise, and sound art. His work posits expanded listening cultures of sonic thoughts and sound practices, a proposition to consider and reflect on auditory cultures beyond the norms. An awareness of surroundings through creative compositions, installations, and performances.

KMRU has carved out a serious and definitive space on the list of essential authors in ambient- experimental music-one of the most prolific and innovative artists in his field.

Norm Dogs(DK/ES)

FRIDAY
23:45

Copenhagen’s Norm Dogs have landed squarely in a wild round of catchy, puzzling rock, where hooks tumble over relentless drums, delirious guitars and a striking sincerity. Norm Dogs embody a spirited DIY approach, energizing the Copenhagen scene with vibrant live shows and a bold, self-titled debut EP that marks them as one of the city’s most compelling new bands.

Polonius(EG/FR)

SATURDAY
22:15

Polonius is the music project of Egyptian-French artist Seif Gaber, whose works span a decade of “science fiction archeomiragical time travel” explorations. Polonius’ grand vision encompasses a myriad of languages culled from kosmische travelings, exotica’s dreamlands, soundtrack psychedelia, spiritual jazz escape routes, and transmuted beat science to convey them into a sonic fiction where all these trails intertwine in a cosmological soundscape filled with wonder and speculation.

The Shadow Ring(UK)

SATURDAY
19:30

Throughout their legendary, decade-long run, the Shadow Ring were an enigmatic force on the international musical sub-underground. Before their disbandment in 2002, this shambolic rock outfit, formed by a group of rowdy teenagers in southeast England, left behind a mighty run of eight LPs, a handful of 7"s, and a spate of raucous live shows and cryptic zine appearances on both sides of the Atlantic, all which have bolstered their enduring word-of-mouth mystique.

Recently reunited with original members Graham Lambkin, Darren Harris, and Tim Goss, The Shadow Ring will play their first-ever show in Denmark at FOEG2025 on Saturday the 22nd of November.

Vio Lino & Tettix Hexer(IT/DK)

SATURDAY
00:30

Vio Lino and Tettix Hexer are an Italian/Danish duo experimenting with the embodiment of sound and anthropocene mythology, often leading to a junction between hauntology and celestial disruption. Recently they have been investigating the history and lore of Gelwane, a mythical act that took place in Jelling.
