I am at a residency at Hotel Chevillon in Grez-sur-Loing in France for six weeks. Really beautiful place by the river Loing. The place was a hangout in the 19th century for famous Swedish artists and writers such as Carl Larsson and August Strindberg.
On my way to the Norberg festival which is the biggest festival for electronic music in Sweden. I am performing some Noda3 stuff together with my friend Sven Rånlund at the Geiger showcase on Saturday.
I was recently in Porto, Portugal teaching in the European workshop Sound Art in City Spaces. Was very inspiring and fun. Students from 5 different cities in Europe and different academic and art disciplines worked in teams to create sound installations and performances in 4 public spaces in Porto. Next spring it will happen in Vilnius, Lithuania. I am already looking forward to it.
Together with Helena Persson and a group of pupils from Västerskolan in Uddevalla I had a public sound installation in a pedestrian tunnel in Uddevalla during the festival Musik Direkt May 13 – 15. The sound in the tunnel was a soundscape composition of watersounds that the pupils recorded during the spring.
I also had an installation with the IMPROVe sound player controlled by gamepads. With this the visitors could play with the water sounds from the tunnel.
On Friday May 7th I will perform mine and Alexander Berman’s soundscape composition Who owns the city? at the GAS-festival in Gothenburg.
I have had a lot of sound workshops the last few weeks. Been to different schools around Falkenberg and Uddevalla south and north of Gothenburg. Been successful and I will now use the sounds recorded during these workshops for concerts with my band Trapped in a loop at the same schools this week.
