Soundhouse: Haftor Medbøe & Konrad Wiszniewski

Haftor Medbøe and Konrad Wiszniewski play the Traverse Theatre on Friday 27 November, as part of the Soundhouse series. It's an evening of live, in-person music in the Traverse Bar, and the two of them are the sole bill.

They describe the performance as drawing on a breadth of contemporary sound worlds to create a lush and enveloping cinematic audience experience. It's a broad way of putting it, but it gives you a sense of where the night is heading: less of a traditional gig and more of a soundscape to sit in. The cinematic side is the key—they're working with sound to build a particular atmosphere around you, rather than just playing a set of songs.

The show is presented by the Soundhouse Organisation, whose Soundhouse series brings a range of global jazz, country, traditional and folk acts to the Traverse Bar. It's a small, intimate space, and that's where the cinematic side of the night comes into play—the music is meant to wrap around you, and in a room that size, it's hard not to feel it. The series is built on live, in-person gigs, so this is a night for being there in the room rather than listening from a distance.

It's recommended for ages 14 and over. Tickets are £15, with £12 concessions, and the performance starts at 6:30pm in Traverse 1, the Traverse Bar.
