Alter

We simply can’t wait to experience Curbside Lambsear when they are coming to ALTER in September!
lambsear is Annabelle Mödlinger and Magdalena McLean. The collaboration explores rough textures and soft intentions, weaving together elements of pop, folk, and improvisation with influences of drone, dub, and post-punk. The project began as a way for Magdalena and Annabelle to experiment with writing music together, using early sessions to learn new instruments, the process of recording and writing on DAWs. Their musical output is the result of time spent together in the studio fusing disparate influences into collage; phone notes, little poems written on public transport, field recordings, sample loops, rehearsal voice memos and string melodies merge, realign, and sometimes coalesce into songs.

In a week we will reveal the third round of artists for this years’ ALTER - From music that blends field recordings, acoustic instruments and voice to mimic the animal and vegetal universe to an indubiously
dub-laden experience flirting with the motorik krait-rock mentality

Tickets can be found via the link in our bio or via alterfestival.dk/tickets/

_________

ALTER is a festival that has been of great importance to the Danish musical landscape since 2020. ALTER has allowed new compositional music to perform side by side with other,
primarily innovative and experimental music and art, without regard to genre labels.

ALTER takes a critical approach to its own role and significance for the music and scenes that are presented and represented. ALTER has also done this with a lot of media attention for this type of event, with Soundvenue highlighting the festival’s programme as so wide-ranging that it “could have taken place on different planets” and with a sold-out festival with over 1,700 visitors in 2025.

Over the past five years, ALTER has presented challenging and new music and art to a
diverse audience. ALTER has successfully encouraged this audience to leave their prejudices at home and experience the music with open ears.

We can’t wait to invite guests in to the riff heavy universe of Statoil!

Statoil is the sound of the sticky, black-gold liquid being pumped out of the earth, distributed over the globe and turned into capital. As the only preserver of the genre ‘static-oil-core’ (an instrumental genre of heavy, repetitive riffs and shrieking noise) they are the manifestation of the middle finger to hyper-capitalism, cynical raw material extraction and the lack of compassion for the common human.
