A couple of months ago, me and two friends launched a music site called Bag Nummeret (“Behind the song” directly translated into English). The concept is pretty straightforward: we interview an artist and focus on one of his/her/their songs, and only one. It’s not a talk about the artist in general, an upcoming album or anything you might read elsewhere – we focus on one specific song and that’s it.

We post a new interview every Monday and the song in question is always available as a stream together with the interview.

The plan is to launch an English version of the site pretty soon so we can reach a larger audience, give Danish artists some international exposure and also get international artists the possibility to get really nerdy with us and talk about one song, and one song only.

Go ahead and visit our website, our Facebook page and Twitter stream. Tak!

The idea behind Miscellaneous Adventures is to showcase some of the physical objects Andrew Groves creates, separated out from his illustration and design work. He creates simple objects like spoons, key toggles and drinking scoops out of locally sourced wood (from his backyard, essentially) and then decorates them with lovely colors and subtle patterns.

Love the cinematography, the craft skills and the whole concept of designing of nature’s produce. Make sure to check out Miscellaneous Adventures.

You can read more about the Pecha Kucha presentation format at the official website and more specifically about the Aalborg events at Huset’s website.

Pecha Kucha in Northern Jutland
Besides the two Pecha Kucha Nights in Aalborg, I’ll also be helping out and documenting a tour of Pecha Kucha events throughout the northern part of Jutland. Huset’s Pecha Kucha organiser, Annette Scheibel, is the main coordinator of this tour and I’ll tag along with my camera.

So far the following dates are in place:

• March 14 at Café Bio in Lønstrup
• April 17 at Kinorevyen in Skørping
• May 23 at Mygdalhus in Mygdal

I’ll update the list as more dates are added. We hope there’s enough support around Northern Jutland for about 8-10 events in 2012.

Your help is needed
If you want to present at any of these events (in Aalborg or around Northern Jutland – or both) please let me know! We are also looking for people to help organising Pecha Kucha events in their local communities throughout Northern Jutland. In any case, please get in touch.

Looking forward to seeing you out there!
