Bjarke Svendsen’s Summary

• Communication consultant at consulting company Retail Institute Scandinavia, where I also take part in planning strategies for companies of all sizes. I also speak at conferences on issues such as consumer trends, new technologies etc.

• Political Advisor: As an external political advisor I’m not related to any specific political party, I’m being used as a consultant in matters concerning culture, mainly in matters related to contemporary music.

• Board member Voxhall: Voxhall is the finest venue in Aarhus, Denmark. It has capacity of 550 people and presents concerts with some of the most groundbreaking artists from around the globe.

• Teacher in studying tools and philosophy at Aarhus University for two semesters.

• Blogger

• Concert organizer in LJUD. LJUD don’t confine our self to specific genres. What we do present is music that has authenticity, which is curious, sincere and united in it’s approach to music. Therefore the outcome from LJUD can be regarded as very schizophrenic: hip-hop, jazz, modern composition, free folk, electronic music, improvisation, doom, rock, brass… you name. LJUD have organised more than 200 concerts with artists from more than 40 countries. LJUD has worked together with numerous festivals including Norberg festival, RECession Festival, Spot Festival, Norberg Festival, Aarhus Festuge, Roskilde Festival and more.

• I run LJUD records, a tiny record company releasing esoteric music.
