Øy

What happens when you plug a tap dancer into the computer?

Øy is a duo consisting of tap dancer Janne Eraker and electronic musician Kristoffer Lislegaard.

The sound of Øy stretches from dreamy, mysterious and cinematic, via clubby, groovy and danceable, to intense and noisy.

The music is based on a conceptual collaboration. The sound of Eraker’s tap dance is sent into the electronics and used by Lislegaard to modulate electronic parameters, trigger sequencers, or as a sound source for processing and sampling. Exactly how the tap sound interacts with the electronics is programmed live on the spot as part of the performance.
