Synk

source: vimeo
A collaboration between HC Gilje, sound artist Justin Bennett and choreographer Eva Cecilie Richardsen, first presented at the Ultima festival in Oslo, fall 2002,. The project is one of several extensions from Gilje´s VideoNervous project (1999-2000).
The idea of synk was that no prerecorded video or audio would be used, only material sampled during the performance was allowed, to investigate live as raw material : to impose a structure on a live situation to allow for unpredictable results within that frame structure.
Justin Bennett was one of the main audio collaborators for 242.pilots.
Synk was the most toured piece of Kreuterkompani, with performances at the Ultima festival in Oslo, Kiasma in Helsinki, Kanonhallen in Copenhagen, podewil in Berlin, Xfilm festival in Sofia and many more in the period 2002-07.

Kreutzerkompani was founded in 2000 (continuing the work of Demodans since 1997) by choreographer Eva-Cecilie Richardsen and videoartist HC Gilje, and developed in collaboration with freelance members of the company. The performances are based on a continuous exploration of movements through video/audio/dance, filtering improvisation and structured material in a live-setting. Gilje and Richardsen lived and worked in Berlin in this period.
