Meltdown Electronica with Soaring Saxes, Bowed Strats and Animated Spoken Word
World class speaker David Cowley teaming up with experimental live-looping musician Per Boysen. This collaboration may seem to merge worlds widely apart, such as the strict organisational theorist’s world and the seemingly floating world of the improvising musician. But on a closer look you will find that they share many essential elements. As David and Pboy experienced, you have to rely on the very same human qualities such as intuition and dramatic techniques. It doesn't really matter if your performance aims at creating music in front of an audience or taking action as a leader in a modern business organisation, they both require similar skills and approaches. This can sometimes appear paradoxical, for example being focused on what you are trying to do and at the same time being open to what is happening around you.

2004: Organisational Culture Loops
Note from Per Boysen:
OCL was extremely satisfying to make for many reasons. Davids great voice
and phenomenal sense of timing as a speaker, to name one. I'm also happy
that Kjell and Eric at Noden
share my vision about all storytelling artforms actually relying on the
same set of archetypes. Finally, it's cool to see that it really is possible
to release serious collaborations without having to deal with the copycats
of the traditional record industry.
