+ Jeppe Just Institute and Friends
Info:
Jeppe Just Christensen (b. 1978) works with a variety of elements in his music, which reference themes such as childhood and nostalgia and represent musical mismatch. Christensen, who is based in Copenhagen, uses and reuses found objects and instruments in new constellations, both musically and visually, and he often builds or rebuilds his instruments himself. In 2011, he formed Jeppe Just Instituttet along with Matias Seibæk and David Hildebrandt. The group performs songs that span both lullabies and drunkard songs on unique instruments, including saw, melodica, kalimba and a variety of untraditional percussion.
