Madonna should give this ’mad dane’ a call
Current mood: crunk
But the girl that totally blew my mind was Heidi Mortenson. She was in the electronica room, where she was preceded by two brothers making a droning noise while concentrating on their laptops, the visual highlight being when one picked up a beer and took a sip. A lot of artists in this genre have a stage presence that is practically autistic and I didn't hold out huge hopes for Heidi when she wandered out, frumpily dressed, and started sighing and muttering into an overloud microphone, but there was method in her apparent madness. She has various distortion, phasing and looping gadgets, and builds up tracks with her vocals and odd bits of instrumentation (a child's keyboard, a stripped down trumpet). She conjures up weirdly colourful avante garde dance tracks out of nothing, and delivered a mad but addictive version of Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'. Towards the end she even threw off her apparent shyness by delivering the most comically obscene rap about her sexual tastes. Fantastically entertaining and completely original, if Madonna really wants to start pushing popular music into new areas she should forget working with established American production talents like Timbaland and give this mad Dane a call.
Her kan du læse koncertanmeldelsen fra min koncert på SPOT '08
Heidi Mortenson Heidi Mortenson, en legesyg performer og musiker, er en af de danske elektroniske musikere, der har fundet et større publikum. Der var også en lind tilstrømning af folk til hendes koncert.
Numrene var skåret over samme model: Sampling og manipulation af Heidi Mortensons egen sang eller beatboxing, der lægger et enkelt beat og opbygges til hele beatskulpturer. Henover kommer melodiske vers, omkvæd og soloer spillet på blandt andet keyboard.
Publikum hujer, da Heidi Mortenson starter andet nummer med "la, la, la…" fra Kylie Minogues "Can't Get You Out of My Head". Begejstringen bliver ikke mindre, da hun synger det fængende omkvæd. Det improviseres et andet sted hen end originalen, men bevarer det iørefaldende islæt. På næste nummer rapper Heidi Mortenson versene, der introducerer os til et skarpttegnet seksuelt univers. Omkvædet er endnu en ørehænger, og der er stor begejstring blandt publikum, da hun scratcher på usynlige plader.
Heidi Mortensons musik besidder en originalitet, der er sjældent hørt, og hun udstråler en afslappethed og et overskud, der er mange musikere misundelsesværdigt. Musikalsk var koncerten af en helt anden karakter end det øvrige på Spots elektroniske aften. Det legesyge aspekt gik igen i mange af koncerterne, men Heidi Mortensons musik talte mere umiddelbart til publikum. Det er måske en fordel på en festival, hvor publikum shopper rundt mellem forskellige koncerter og ikke altid har tålmodigheden til at sætte sig ned og vente på, at musikken åbner sig. (Fem stjerner).
