18:45 Benedicte Maurseth «Mirra» Album Release
"Mirra" is a continuation of Benedicte Maurseth's work and solo album "Hárr" (Hubro Records, 2022), which received the Nordic Music Prize and was recognized by The Guardian as one of the ten best folk music albums globally in the same year. Similar to "Hárr," "Mirra" is a concept album where concrete sound plays a central role in the compositions, with ecosophy serving as a foundational perspective. The music features repetitive patterns influenced by the suggestive repetitions found in folk music, American minimalism, krautrock, and free improvised music.

19:30 Erik Honoré: «Temporary Empire» (Biscenen Concert)
“Temporary Empire“ is a music and spoken word project exploring themes of memory, impermanence, and connection. Built around layered soundscapes, text, and live performance, the piece invites audiences into a “temporary nation” of sound and story—where isolation gives rise to improvised community and fragile human bonds. With a non-linear structure and collage-based approach, “Temporary Empire“ weaves together textures of language, field recordings, samples and instruments to evoke a space of reflection and resonance.
The project is currently under development, with ensemble and remote-collaborators to be announced closer to the festival.
20:30 C Duncan
Born and raised in Glasgow by two classical musicians, Chris studied piano and viola before taking up guitar, bass, and drums in his teens, eventually studying music composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. After graduating he began work on his first album, writing and recording everything from home. His Mercury nominated debut 'Architect' was released in 2015 and after a spell of touring the UK and Europe he returned to his home studio and began work on his Twilight Zone inspired second album 'The Midnight Sun' which was released in 2016 and shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year. He supported Elbow on their UK and North American tour which led him to record his third album 'Health' at their studio in Salford with Craig Potter, which was released in 2019 and also shortlisted for Scottish Album of the Year. Chris signed to Bella Union and released his 4th album ‘Alluvium’ in 2022. Following this he produced records for Scottish harpist Gillian Fleetwood, and Downton Abbey actor Michael C. Fox, as well as writing music for documentaries and orchestral commissions. Chris’s new album ‘It’s Only A Love Song’ was recorded in his “new and improved” home studio and will be released in January 2025. He is also a keen artist and paints all his album artwork.
