Listening as an ethical practice with David Harrington
<p>‘Musicians are trained to listen, and the best of us try to communicate what we hear, both from the world around us and from inside ourselves.’ David Harrington is a violinist and the founding member of Kronos Quartet.</p><p>In this episode, Rob Young meets Harrington to talk about Kronos’ long-standing commitment to contemporary music, listening as an ethical practice, and the quartet’s constant search for new sounds and new collaborators. The conversation centres on <a href="https://www.ultima.no/en/festival-2025-elja" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Elja</a>, a new work created with Norwegian composers Benedicte Maurseth and Kristine Tjøgersen, inspired by the vast mountain plateau of Hardangervidda.</p><p>Harrington reflects on playing newly developed Hardanger instruments, on learning from tradition while opening it to new sonic worlds, and on why music, in unstable times, can still bring people together and help us listen more closely to the world around us.</p><p><br></p><p>Produced by Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival</p><p>Written and presented by Rob Young</p><p>Edited by Solveig Sørbø</p><p>Theme music by Kristine Tjøgersen</p><p><br></p><p>Visit us on <a href="https://www.ultima.no/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">ultima.no</a>.</p>

Resisting efficiency, productivity and clear-cut answers
<p><strong>‘The explanation is actually the process — the courageto stay in movement and not know where you are going.’ </strong></p><p>In this episode, Rob Young meets Ewa Jacobsson and herlong-term collaborator Hilde Marie Holsen to talk about <a href="https://www.ultima.no/en/festival-2025-labyrinthic-explanation-of-knowledge" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Labyrinthic Explanation of Knowledge</a>, a large-scale installation and concert work presented at Ultima 2025. They discuss how their collaboration grew out of shared listening, material exploration and a mutual interest in sound as something physical, spatial and alive.</p><p>Together, they reflect on working with found objects, sound circuits and live trumpet, on the idea of the labyrinth as a place of uncertainty and discovery, and on forms of knowledge that resist efficiency, productivity and clear-cut answers — but remain deeply necessary today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Produced by Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival</p><p>Written and presented by Rob Young</p><p>Edited by Solveig Sørbø</p><p>Theme music by Kristine Tjøgersen</p><p><br /></p><p>Visit us on <a href="https://ultima.no/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ultima.no</a>.</p>

Liquid Rooms — dismantling the stage, the seat and the single viewpoint
<p><strong>‘We wanted to forget the stage, forget the constant changes, and give the audience the freedom to choose their own perspective.’</strong> Tom Pauwels is a guitarist and artistic director of the Ictus Ensemble.</p><p>In this episode, Rob Young meets soprano Nina Guo alongside Tom Pauwels to talk about <a href="https://www.ultima.no/en/festival-2025-liquid-room-xii-a-perfect-life" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Liquid Room XII: A Perfect Life</a>, presented at Ultima 2025. Together they discuss the Liquid Room format as a roaming, immersive concert experience — part performance, part mini-festival — where audiences are free to move, listen closely, or drift between sound worlds.</p><p>The conversation explores Robert Ashley’s Perfect Lives as the core of the evening, and how its dreamlike, speech-based music connects to works by Laurie Anderson, Jennifer Walshe, Jessie Cox, Tom Johnson and others. Guo and Pauwels reflect on voice, listening, collaboration and preparation, and on how disparate pieces are woven into a fluid night of shared attention, sonic streams and poetic parallels.</p><p><br /></p><p>Produced by Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival</p><p>Written and presented by Rob Young</p><p>Edited by Solveig Sørbø</p><p>Theme music by Kristine Tjøgersen</p><p><br /></p><p>Visit us on <a href="https://ultima.no/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ultima.no</a>.</p>
