Biography

Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard works within an interdisciplinary artistic praxis, spanning from composition and sound art to performance, conceptual and visual art. He considers his work to be a basic research in realities and is interested in how bubble-like systems unfold themselves as human conditions. Niels Lyhne Løkkegaards work often revolves around the idea of (over)saturation as a pivot. How bodies can be saturated in such a way that they collapse under their own (over)saturated weight and thereby becomes something else. Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard method of arriving in this (over)saturated state is multiplication of a single body into several bodies and he has used this method accros several media. Since 2012 he has experimented with creating music in an effort to let the instruments transcend their inherent (Western) sonic norms and reappear in another form. In the work series SOUND X SOUND (2013-2017) he explores this by way of multiplication which resulted in a series of works multiplying one instrument a number of times: One piece is written for 9 pianos, another for 18 clarinets, 10 hi-hats and in more recent years pieces such as Triangular Mass for multiple triangles (2016) or Birdsongs - for multiple parabolic microphones (2019). Notable collaborations with Quatuor Bozzini, Nicolas Bernier, Erik Carlson and Jacob Kirkegaard.
