Soft, Dream-Like, Electronica
From Band Ane, a grad of Denmark's tuition-free electronica university. No, really.
Instruments: laptop, voice.
Kære alle Pavillion/Junior medarbejdere, "Dear Pavillion/Junior stage volunteers" is the opening line of the letter I received today from Denmark. The organizers of the Roskilde Festival are inquiring whether I will be in attendance this year. Last year, they celebrated their 35th year and were the biggest European festival of 2006, with almost 110,000 people in attendance. Unfortunately, I will not be in attendance. I am neither a member of the Arcade Fire nor the Brian Jones Town Massacre (who are both playing this year). I am merely one of the thousands of volunteers that worked at the Festival last year who was rewarded for my efforts through a golden wristband that enabled me to attend free of charge!
LISTEN TO THIS
- "Lala" from Anish Music
- "Wood Delivery" from Anish Music
- And snippets from more songs here
I could amuse you with stories of my lowly catering duties in which I barbequed steaks for The Happy Mondays and opened bottles of chocolate milk for The Watson Twins, but instead I will write about the artist I will miss most.
Band Ane is Ane Østergaard, a student of the Danish Institute of Electronic Music (DIEM) at the Royal Academy of Music in Århus. (And FYI, there are no tuition fees for Danish or foreign students who are accepted to the bachelor of electronic music program at the DIEM in case you're interested in honing your skills.)
Making use of her laptop, a melodica, and her own voice, Band Ane has received rave reviews for her live performances. Released in 2006, her first record, Anish Music, is awash with ambient and at times poppy electronic songs. Like Aphex Twin, Band Ane's songs follow no particular song structure, but whereas Aphex Twin is spastic and rough, Band Ane's music is soft and dream like, most suitable for picnics and before bed.

They can afford it, we are too poor!
Did you say tuition free?like TUITION FREE
Denmark does not possess the natural riches like Canada.
They merely work hard converting the raw materials bought elsewhere into stuff that sells abroad,
like we could, for instance,
have secondary industies converting our wood etc, into valuable things.
SO, it is great to learn that with good management a country can afford to have tuition free courses, even for foreing students!
Why did Gordo not notice such things on his hasty study toru of the European countries?
