Welcome Music for Isolation

We welcome Gideon Juckes and Rei Takeuchi, who are the Tokyo based duo Music for Isolation. They create intimate music, ancient and new, at the crossroads of folk, classical, improvisation, innovation and tradition. They have always had a fascination with the Global North, and Svalbard in particular. In a collaboration with local Svalbardian, Trond Olaf Holmen, they created the musical accompanient for his film “Above The Midnight Sky”which features Sarkofagen. Music for Isolation will perform three free concerts on Svalbard during June.
