A symphony of and with two-wheelers .
Inspired by Frank Zappa , last year ’ s festival bikes , and the 2017 Road World Championships in Bergen , the BIT20 Ensemble decided to compose their own bicycle symphony in collaboration with 50 pupils from Ådnamarka school . Throughout spring they have explored all the strange and delightful sounds a bike might possibly produce in various ways . With their own bicycle concert band , instruments of their own invention made from bicycle parts , and several cyclists especially trained for the occasion , the completed work will be presented at Torgallmenningen .
