Kelly Moran live in Oslo

Experience Kelly Moran live on October 28th

Kelly Moran will perform at Blå in Oslo, Norway on October 28, 2026. Moran is a composer and performer known for her work blending prepared piano with electronic processing and synthesis. Her music often features meticulously altered piano sounds – utilizing bolts, screws, and other objects placed on or between the strings – creating percussive and textural elements alongside traditional melodic lines. This results in compositions described as ranging from ambient and drone-based to intensely rhythmic and structurally complex, drawing influences from minimalist composers like Steve Reich and Pauline Oliveros, as well as techno and experimental electronic music.

Blå is a cultural venue located in Oslo’s Grünerløkka district, situated directly on the Akerselva river. Originally established in 1999 as a jazz club, it has since broadened its programming to encompass a diverse range of genres including electronic music, experimental sound art, visual arts, and performance art. The building itself has a history connected to the industrial waterfront; it previously functioned as a power station providing electricity for the surrounding area. Blå is recognized for its intimate atmosphere and commitment to showcasing both established and emerging artists within Norway’s independent music scene.
