Ovartaci returns home without a bicycle

Ovartaci loved riding his bicycle. He was allowed to ride a long way from the hospital, and so I included an actual bicycle as a percussion instrument. Aarhus is this year’s European Capital of Culture. I will be visiting there together with colleagues from the “Atonale” – but I will not be taking a bicycle with me. Our percussionist will be kindly lent a Danish bicycle in Aarhus.

There are Ovartaci museums and also the hospital where he spent most of his life. This tour will be a hunt for clues about sources of inspirations for Ovartaci, but I am also looking for inspiration myself.
