New album with Fiktion: "Gdańsk, POL-PAL, نابلس". Release 28 feb 2020. <3
|
|
Fiktion’s “Gdańsk, POL-PAL, نابلس” is a sonic imprint of a fictious journey, a musical collage of church organs, mechanical machines, trains, and field recordings from different regions across Europe and the Middle East, where different elements have been recorded, filtered, played back and re-recorded again.
The year is 2035 and you are on some kind of transport vehicle — a hybrid of a traditional electric train, a mechanical machine and a church organ. Twelve years ago, the European Council signed a decision to fund this railway line between Gdańsk, Poland, and Nablus, Palestine, operated by Hedjaz Jordan Railways and Al Nayzak Organization For Supportive Education and Scientific Innovation. The railway passes through 15 countries and constitutes a musical, artistic, historic and anthropologic journey. There are multiple stops along the way, with treats of local cuisine, drinks and music, as well as initiated narration by dedicated guides.
“I have always loved the authentic expression of different cultures and languages, whichever part of the world it may be. I equally love the church organ and the train. The organ as a mechanical and musical phenomenon with its machinery, pipes and additive synthesis, and the train as a source of sound and a cultural means of transport.
The recordings in this work are mostly from Poland, Ukraine, Kosovo / Serbia, Greece, Turkey and Palestine / Israel. Boundaries between countries are a way for people to develop identities. They create community and bind people together in language, culture and art. At the same time, this process also leads to simplifications and a diminishment of nuances and tolerance. This is why I think education and contacts across boundaries are vital for a constructive society to mature.
These three aspects — the sonic, the sociological and the mechanical — form the basis of this album and this piece of sonic art.”

MIXTAPE #6: 1950-1969: "Kriegskinder"
Fragmentariskt, glödligt levande och utan upplösning. Så brukar minnena beskrivas av den generation som växte upp under och i ruinerna från andra världskrigets Europa. ”En död kvinna flyter på vattnet med ansiktet nedåt. Hennes kjol fylls med luft likt en ballong, vinden blåser i den och hon seglar längs dammen.” Liknande berättelser som detta porträtteras i Frederike Helwigs porträttsamling “Kriegskinder”, engelsk titel: The Children of the War. Genom filtret på ett barns ögon, får vi ta del av fragment stundtals vardagligt tråkiga stundtals chockerande.
Mixtapet bygger på musik komponerad cirka 1950-1970 (Ligeti, Popol Vuh)

(SWE) 1971 skickas det första e-postbrevet. 1972 lanserar IBM sin globala försäljning av disketten. I mitten på 70-talet utvecklas mikroprocessorn och datorn blir möjlig att äga för småföretagare och privatpersoner. Välkommen till avsnitt 5. I dessa mixtapes vandrar jag musikhistoriskt nedåt intill en psykosocial essä. Decenniet idag är 70-talet med rubriken “Datorn och etisk frigörelse”

MIXTAPE #4: 1980-1989: Italodisco och röd kärlek
(SWE) 80-talet kallas i västländer ibland för en glad tid. Man syftar då på estetikens färgrikedom, vitalitet. Kläder, smycken, och andra energiska uttryck inom musik, film, dans och berörande konstnärliga fält. Låt oss i detta avsnitt suga in den unika glädje, kärlek och energi som detta decennium antagligen i lång tid framöver kommer att förknippas med!

VERUM 2014 - Short film, choir and church organs
23 Mars, 2014
|
My second short film is called 'VERUM' and will be shown in Stockholm 8th and 10th of April.
8th April Kl 18:00 - with KMH Sångarensemble - Stora Salen, KMH Stockholm 10th April Kl 19:00 - Audiorama, Skeppsholmen Stockholm VERUM (Synopsis in SWE) Verket vill manifestera ett rum, en helig plats lik väl för den troende som för agnostikern eller ateisten. Jag har inspirerats av den tid när sakral musik började bli flerstämmig, alltså åren cirka 1200-1500. Texten berättar om människans evolutionsgrundade förmåga att förkroppsliga minnen, förtränga smärtsamma mentala upplevelser känslor för att i största möjliga mån överleva situationen eller sin upplevelse av den. Detta gör att det mentalt uppstår två ytterligheter och kraftfält. Rummen som verket manifesterar blir för var och en, ihop med text och sång en plats att hämta kraft och styrka för att lättare nå koherens - sammanhang, samstämmighet. |
