Documentarul Efterklang: The Makedonium Band, regizat de Andreas Johnsen, oferă o perspectivă încântătoare asupra unui proiect muzical inovator, în care trupa daneză Efterklang întâlnește muzica macedoneană.

Trioul danez Efterklang vizitează Macedonia cu intenția de a aduna laolaltă o trupă de muzicieni pentru a susține un concert extraordinar în fața Makedonium, monument al independenței naționale. Rezultatul este o explorare fascinantă a muzicii tradiționale macedonene, precum și o perspectivă unică asupra procesului creativ caracteristic trupei daneze.

De la înființarea sa, în 2003, formația Efterklang a lansat numeroase albume de succes și a susținut turnee internaționale cu muzica sa incluzivă și experimentală deopotrivă, care incorporează elemente pop, indie-rock, post-rock și muzică electronică. Trupa compusă din Mads Brauer, Casper Clausen și Rasmus Stolberg mai are în palmares două documentare: „An Island”, realizat în colaborare cu regizorul Vincent Moon și „The Ghost of Piramida”, regizat de Andreas Koefoed.

This little gem of a film is about what makes life worth living; the meeting with the unknown and going through with that encounter till the end, having courage, curiosity and openness between people and cultures to be able to create something heartfelt and beautiful, yes, maybe sometimes even magical.

Andreas Johnsen has created a delightful tour of the Balkan country’s musical culture and a dive into the alternative creative process of one of Denmark’s most adventurous bands, where you won’t be looked down upon if you suddenly, in the middle of a rehearsal, pull out your homemade bagpipes made from the stomach of a goat.
