Sharp, exciting electronic-based improvisation. With roots in particular DBHG and creative ensembles this duo is among the most forward-looking and interesting as can be found in the neighborhood.

Barry Guy & Maya Homburger duo
Barry Guy - double bass (GRB), Maya Homburger - baroque violin (GRB)

Barry Guy and Maya Homburger belong both to the absolute creative now living musicians (big words ... but also true!). They are simply playing in an entirely separate division ... No other musicians have they managed to the highest level of playing both improvised music, baroque music and contemporary music with the razor-sharp focus and the deep commitment they have!
Biber and J.S. Bach coexist with compositions by Xenakis and especially by Guy himself.
Solos and duos in alternate programs that always carves firmly into the mind of the listener!
It is only to open up and take in! Heavenly beauty, freely expressed!

16:00

Silent Block
Frédéric le Junter - voice, homemade instruments, objects, etc.(FRA)
Xavier Charles - prepared loudspeakers, objects, etc.(FRA)
Jérôme Jean Mart - voice, percussion, sensors, objects, etc. (FRA)

A fabulous group with a completely own arrangement for the musical process.
On large tables a huge sound meal is placed up, this trans Heras of Charles, Junta and Jean Mart. These sound bits processed live in a universe of sound worlds where the tone and layers within the music are constantly shifting with mechanical or electronic support.
Indeed spectacular! The audience can then observe the creative process by walking around the table and the musicians which makes it a spectacle like no other!
An exchange in its true sense!

Friends of the Tiger
Lindha Kallerdahl - vocals and electric bass (SWE), Klabbe Hörngren - piano, Thomas Gunillasson - guitar (SWE), Carl Svensson - guitar (SWE), Joel Wästberg - drums and saxophone (SWE), Martin Öhman - drums (SWE).

New project of Lindha Kallerdahl taking her out in the territories we not heard before!
A very driven rock music with tentacles in the alternative music and free jazz.
Curiosity for the new expressions is a driving force behind this music and they shows this song after song.

19:00

Hild Sofie Tafjord
Hild Sofie Tafjord - French horn and electronics (NOR)

Hild Sofie is one of the strongest and most interesting voices in improvised music and noise in recent explosive years! With a strong sense of form and timbral awareness, she has blown away many jazz beards from chairs and armchairs with her high-energy-music delivering great beauty in the lyrical qualities. Hild has worked with many of the top names in noise music, but we think in her solo performances, she really comes to her strengths. Her solo record "KAMA" is one of the strongest solodebuts ever! Stone Hard! Rock Hard!

Grenager / Jernberg
Lene Grenager - cello (NOR), Sofia Jernberg - voice (SWE)

This is the SHIT! A really fantastic improvisation duo where the search and the investigations for the micro sounds and the bigger causes drives these equilibristic musicians forward!
Improvisation music on this level is a pleasure to take part of.
Lene and Sofia are improvised music in its TRUE sense. Ear sight Art!
The Duo will during 2009 début with an album on Olof Bright Editions.

TAKU Unami
TAKU Unami - "objects vibrated by inaudible frequencies made with computer."  (JPN)

TAKU Unami is another absolutely enchanting, interesting musicians from the Japanese experimental scene. Fully unpredictable and with a constant smile, he put musical expectations out of order. Authorization of a permit ... questioning of questioning ...
Unami concerns and adds relish to things. This we need to be further able to fight stupidity!

18:00

Sven-Åke Johansson solo
Sven-Åke Johansson - drums, accordion and voice (GER)

Sven-Åke is one of the greatest pioneers of the European improvisation music. After having fled Sweden in the mid 60's and continued to work with all the main improvisers (Derek Bailey, Peter Brötzmann, Peter Kowald), Sven-Åke has created a distinctive image of himself as an artist and conceptual performer.
With indefatigable energy Sven-Åke have overpowered standardized forms and pointed to other values.
Often with one foot in history and a big heart in the future he has with foam cymbals, tractor concerts, fan recordings and sensless word acrobatics  overcome the present moment!
And it swings...

Filament
Sachiko M - sampler with sine waves (JPN), Otomo Yoshihide - guitar, turntables (JPN)

This is music. This is unlike anything else. This is also from Japan ...
Two of the most influential musicians of the investigative scene in Tokyo creates timbres and interferences that seriously has the potential to change our view of what music is or not.
With a fantastic sense of form and an extreme presence conditions are created that are impossible to defend oneself against. Just to be swallow up by the sound waves' navigation in body and soul.
These two style breakers has both a history in the legendary band Ground Zero, but has brought their plunder-phonical-aesthetics to completely different frequencies in FILAMENT.
True innovation and questioning. Resistance-musical-hub!

Akira Sakata Trio
Akira Sakata - alt sax (JPN), Darin Gray - double bass (USA), Chris Corsano - drums (USA)

A legendary saxophonist of the highest rank! The welding flame's protector!
Sakata has since the early 70's perforated musical contexts alike Wha-ha-ha and especially in the Yosuke Yamashita Trio with their infernal and inimitable alto saxophone. Intensity, energy and strong obsession has created among the most touching free jazz on this page of the moon. This new trio was produced by Jim O'Rourke last year and we can just file this record in the Department of Masterpieces ...
Corsano and Gray is the perfect pair in their different ways to support, incite and interact with one of the really big saxophone players in our world.
Sakata is also one of Japan's finest marine biologists (!).
Free the Jazz!

Borbetomagus
Jim Sauter - saxophones (USA), Don Dietrich - saxophones (USA), Donald Miller - guitar (USA)

Insanely long-awaited... This group has since 1980 spitting the good taste up in the face and challenged most of what can be questioned. Absolutely uncompromising and with a FRENZIED energy conditions have been elevated and deconstructed in untamed pace. Classical covers of their own company Agaric records have been contrasted by the hard disorganised saxophones and electronic sounds in an early and extreme noise music, even before the concept of "noise"!
That their Lp discs were possible to purchase at Domus and Tempo in the early 80's is perhaps one of the most unlikely events in the music since the sound was possible to be captured in a horn!
We think this is an appropriate and subtle closing of this year's festival and hope that this inter-audio-national poetry will provide the basis for many festivals in Sweden in the future!
