Ronald Heu

Live Performance

September 28th 2024 at 15:00

In conjunction with our exhibition Organic Circuits we have a live performance by Ronald Heu.

Ronald Heu grew up in the south of Sweden. During his early teens he played in a variety of punk and alternative bands. After high school he studied classical guitar at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff where he graduated in 2002. With one foot in punk and its DIY approach and the other in classical music, he started composing and in 2016 he completed his first film score. The film music became a framework where he could make use of his seemingly contradictory musical background and desire for experimentation.

In 2018 he wrote the music for the multiple award winning Jordanian documentary film Tiny Souls by Dina Naser, which since its premiere in 2019 has been screened worldwide.

Ronald Hue is supported by the Nordic Culture Point, Mobility Fund.

A workshop about how we can experiment and create music without getting stuck in restricting thoughts about the end product.

Do we really need to know exactly what we are doing in order for it to be something of value?

In this workshop we will discuss and explore how experimentation, coincidence and randomness can have value in music making.

We will also try to explore how non-musical elements from our environment could become an important part of our music.

You don’t necessarily need to know how to play an instrument in order to enjoy and explore music (or this workshop).
