Bergen Kunsthall x Ideophone Records
Lemna (JP) + O.M.Theorem (NO)
21:00
Bergen Kunsthall x Ideophone Records presents an evening of two full live performances of electronic, experimental music: Lemna (JP) and O.M.Theorem (NO).
Japanese artist Maiko Okimoto, aka Lemna, moves between experimental electronics, techno, ambient and intricate rhythmic structures. Her background stretches from classical piano and sound engineering to Tokyo’s drum & bass scene. Since debuting Lemna live at Berlin Atonal in 2017, she has approached each performance as something unique to that particular moment, writing new material rather than relying on a fixed live set. For her Bergen debut, Lemna presents From The Cave, a new live work inspired by the significance of caves in traditional Japanese mountain worship – places associated with spirits, passage into another world, and symbolic death and rebirth.
O.M.Theorem is the project of Bergen-based producer and live artist Tobias Mikkelsen, exploring the spaces between bass-heavy soundsystem music, dub and intricate polyrhythmic structures. Through his own label O.M.Theorem, Tobias has built a strong catalogue of releases, including the Lemma series, Corollary1 with reinterpretations by DJ Sotofett and Ossia, and his 2025 debut album Eruption.
Ideophone is a Bergen-based record label and concert/club series for adventurous electronic music. For this edition, they’re joining forces with Bergen Kunsthall and Landmark to present a different side of the Ideophone programme, shifting the focus from the dancefloor towards two full live performances.
