"It was a really great experience to participate in the residency in The Sound Laboratory. It was fantastic to experiment with the studio's unique machines and it was a pleasure to take part in the community around the studio."
"Art Music Denmark has greatly helped NEKO3 in a variety of ways - from financially supporting our traveling in order to showcase Danish contemporary music in the international scene, to career counselling that has brought our ensemble forward, and to create small gathering events to bring artist together. It is definitely a luxury to have an association like Art Music Denmark around."
"What made this residency program such an exceptional experience was the contrast of London’s vibrant city life and living next to the wild park Hampstead Heath. You find what you are looking for: a calm working space in an inspiring environment. And obviously you get to meet a lot of new people!"
“The international travel subsidy made an extraordinary thing possible: to be able to invite the composer Kaija Saariaho and participating musicians from all across Europe to participate in the 2021 festival’s overarching venture. This created an even bigger impact nationally and internationally for an already renowned festival.”
"A residency at the Cité des Arts is an absolutely fantastic experience. It's like living in a small artist's village in the middle of Paris where you get to meet artists from all different fields and cultures. All these meetings are extremely inspiring and at the same time being allowed to take part in the exuberant cultural life that exists in Paris is just absolutely fantastic! It has given me so much new energy, inspiration and mine to take with me for the rest of my life."
“In connection with Art Music Denmark's visit program to Berlin, I met both ensemble mosaik and Morphine Raum. These meetings developed into key collaborations in the realization of my project Pieces for Works, which consists of nine new works written for ensemble mosaik and will be presented in connection with a major exhibition in Kunsthalle Mannheim and a subsequent album release.”
"Being allowed to spend two weeks at the Valparaiso Foundation has been a fantastic opportunity for me to take some concrete steps in a more interdisciplinary direction in my practice, where I can combine visual art with my profile as a musician. I have had the opportunity to prepare and draft an application for an interdisciplinary project and to create three new works of art.”
