About this concert
9:00 PM GMT+21 Going
Why Kai has, in recent years, become recognized in Oslo's underground scene for challenging club music norms with unconventional elements. In Why Kai's musical universe, electronic club music blends with acoustic, prepared instruments and elaborate compositions that lean toward jazz and chamber music. Kai von der Lippe and Elias Tafjord, known from bands such as Fieh, Tigerstate, and Sassy 009, perform live with keys and drums, weaving in visual dimensions that complement the music.
On October 16th, Why Kai release their third album, Light & Mud (Bigboy Records), and invite everyone to a release concert in MUNCH's Festsal. Light & Mud is a two-part record, where the A-side and B-side represent two different facets of the band's artistry.
Just like the record, this concert will also be split in two, offering a kind of mirroring of the album. The lineup, which usually consists of Von der Lippe (keys) and Tafjord (drums), is expanded for the occasion with Joel Ring (double bass) and Tuva Halse (violin). Together they will transform the Festsal with custom-built stages, visuals, and more.
After the concert, there will be an afterparty in MUNCH Bar on the 12th floor.

Artist bio
Why Kai is the moniker of Oslo based composer and producer Kai von der Lippe, accompanied by drummer Elias Tafjord. With an upbringing and education in jazz and improv, and journeyman years making techno and house music, Kai combines two musical worlds in the making of Why Kai. Rather than creating repetitive dance music as an accompaniment to improvised solos, he instead creates carefully composed and evolving pieces where sounds from the jazz and improv scenes are seamlessly blended with danceable rhythms and deep bass, as well as incorporating field recordings.
Why Kais debut EP “Deep Fishing”, released on Jazzland Recordings in 2021, was critically acclaimed by Norway’s connoisseurs of both jazz and electronic music, coined as “the sprightliest debut the writer had witnessed” by Subjekt’s critic. In May 2024 Why Kai released their first full-length album “Tourist”. The album was nominated for Norwegian Grammys 2024 (Spellemann) for best electronica album, was selected as Meat of the Week by Huey Morgan on BBC Jazz and was critically acclaimed by reviewers in Dagen Næringsliv, Gaffa and Aftenposten.
Why Kai are known for their visually unique live shows, using live-controlled interactive visuals with input from cameras on stage, and MIDI-triggered robots as an integrated part of the concert experience.
