ULTIMA 2024 Acute @ Trekanten

A special club night for the head as well as the feet. Ultima teams up with Oslo’s new club venue Trekanten to present two inventive electronic artists who are seriously redefining the parameters of electronic music.

In a commission from Ultima and Trekanten, Norway’s Fakethias (aka Mathias Humlen) will play with visuals by Felix Scheele. Following a Spellemann prize nomination for his 2023 album Core Echo, Fakethias has become increasingly interested in combining digital noise with live instruments, and enhancing the specific qualities of the space where he is performing, such as the modernistic concrete architecture of the Trekanten-building.

The night also includes a set by Iranian musician Pouya Pour-Amin, making his Norwegian debut. Pour-Amin is a composer, multi-instrumentalist and actor from Tehran, Iran. His harrowing album of abrasive electronic meditations, Prison Episodes, from 2019, explored the experiences of a political prisoner from incarceration to breaking point.

In collaboration with Trekanten and Safemuse.
