Exciting and Challenging Double Feature

J Ludvig III. Few musicians dare to be as uncompromisingly honest as a drummer and producer as Jonathan Ludvigsen is on his debut album Sadboy Fusion, which he released in November 2021 under the soloist name J. Ludvig III.

Here, he has taken a step back from his work with the popular trio Athletic Progression and as a musician for Erika de Casier and others. Through what he describes as a diary of a turbulent two-year period of isolation and uncertainty, he has created an album that in its existentialism touches on loneliness, family, mental health, and death.

Through Ludvigsen's equilibristic performance, where one moment you experience him singing a duet with samples of himself to the next, where he and his band break out into avant-garde beat music, making you lose track of what is composed and what is improvised, you will experience a culmination of complexity and intimacy. In its unconventional formation, the band is an invitation into a theater pit where the musicians have taken the lead roles in a post-dramatic play.

Lueenas is a duo that uses violin, double bass, amplifiers, and pedals to create violent and poetic soundscapes that tell stories without words. Panoramic and noisy music with roots in both classical minimalism and improvisational rock music.

Since Lueenas formed in 2019, they have released an EP (gold records) and three soundtracks (gold records) as well as scored a number of documentaries and short films (DR TV).

In December 2021, Lueenas toured with their cinema concert The Raid, and most recently they completed the music for their first feature film (in collaboration with film director Cecilie McNair and Nordisk Film). A film for which they have now been nominated for a Robert award for Score of the Year.

In November 2022, their debut album Lueenas was released. The first album without a cinematic companion, but one that you can create your own movie to if you close your eyes.
