During the event, no guests are allowed to talk or use electronic devices; the whole point is enjoy an entire night away from the noise and chaos of everyday life, and to provide inspiration for self-reflection and meditation.
Twice a year, a church in Copenhagen is host to 12 hours of visuals and music
— with a sleeping audience
Excerpt from latest Sovekoncert in November 2018 – music by Anastasia/Oliver Zier
For 12 hours, 8PM – 8AM, the guests of Sovekoncert ["sleeping concert"]
camp out on the floor of Gethsemane Church in Copenhagen, committing
themselves to a night of meditation to the tunes of live ambient music and visuals.
Fellow VJ Mathias Jørgensen and I make sure to carry the guest through
the night with psychedelic and everchanging projections, in collaboration
with other visual artists.
