With extended tones and microtonal harmonies, the tuba trio Microtub will explore the massive reverberation at Brønshøj Vandtårn this April. With it’s 40 seconds of reverb, this spectacular construction of a water tower offers a very special acoustic, opening new worlds of sound when Microtub enters the room with their complex compositions. The trio – consisting of Robin Hayward, Peder Simonsen, Martin Taxt – was formed in 2010 and is the world’s first microtonal tuba orchestra. The three tubas – developed by Hayward himself – are tuned in a way that allows them to play intervals smaller than a semitone, which creates strange yet familiar harmonies.

Microtub just released their fifth album “Sonic Drift” (2021) and has played a lot of venues and festivals around the world through the years. Through minimalistic and drone-like compositions, Microtub examines the possibilities of the three microtonal tubas – playing extended tones that will fill your ears with massive sounds and sorround your body with resonating reverb from the big concrete room. Prepare for a meditative experience with Microtub at the water tower this April.

Blue Lake

Blue Lake is a project for the solo music and collaborations of Jason Dungan, active since 2018. For the concert at Brønshøj Vandtårn, Dungan will perform solo, using a self-built zither, clarinet, and acoustic guitar. Blue Lake will fill the old tower with complex and beautiful tones when he plays a support set before Microtub.
